One-day cut in river flows for dam inspection

If you live near Lake Oroville or use water from the North Fork Feather River, flows at the Rock Creek-Cresta project would be temporarily reduced from 200 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 100 cfs on October 22, 2025 to allow a dive inspection of the Cresta Dam bypass radial gate. The change is described as temporary and will follow the ramping rates required in the project license.
