UPDATE (JAN 18/12): Flows are still about 50% of the average for this time of year. Despite the cold, and low flows, generation has been consistent, with one unit running at or near capacity for more than a month now.

Quote from the past:

June 29, 1923

"Moved by Mr. Cooke and seconded by Dr. Metcalfe and resolved: That while this Commission believes that the Bay development (Lower Falls Generating Station) scheme is the ideal one, it recommends that the Council take the necessary steps to proceed at once with the Bridge development (Middle Falls) as planned and estimated by Chas. Barber and Sons, since this development can be used later in the Bay development, should that be decided upon, with little loss through the change; and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Town Council."

UPDATE (Dec 13/11): Flows in the Mississippi River have increased in the past two weeks with recent precipitation. However, flows are still only 50% of the average for this time of year.
