BOATING -- The level of Lake Roosevelt is likely to remain pretty much as it is with no significant further drawdown required to handle runoff, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation says.

The level was 1253.10 feet above sea level at 9 a.m. today, April 10, and the reservoir elevation is expected to remain in the range of 1252 -1255 until May 10, the agency that manages Grand Coulee Dam reports.

That's about 20 feet higher than the 2014 drawdown to handle spring runoff down the Columbia River.

Lake Roosevelt is currently being operated to meet power demand and to complete required maintenance at the dam.

The April – August Water Forecast is 82.5 percent of normal.
