Water is once again flowing to NID’s Rollins Reservoir!

 

 

(GRASS VALLEY, July 29, 2025) Water deliveries have resumed to the Nevada Irrigation District’s (NID) Rollins and Scotts Flat reservoirs following successful infrastructure repairs by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) at Lake Spaulding.

After more than a year of water supply interruptions caused by significant damage to a few of PG&E’s Lake Spaulding facilities, Spaulding 1 powerhouse repairs have been completed and tested. As a result, water is now flowing from Lake Spaulding through the powerhouse and into the conveyance system that supplies NID’s foothill reservoirs.

Currently, the flow rate is approximately 650 cubic feet per second (cfs). Of this, 570 cfs is being routed into the Drum Canal to replenish Rollins Reservoir, while 80 cfs is being bypassed into the South Yuba Canal to feed Scotts Flat Reservoir.
