Announcements

UPDATE

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District no longer expect Ball Mountain Dam in Jamaica, Vermont and Townshend Dam in Townshend/Windham, Vermont to release large amounts of water over the spillways in the next 48 hours. Water will still be released from the dams, but in smaller amounts than previously anticipated. Many river levels have peaked and are beginning to recede. Although additional rain is expected in the next 72 hours, we are actively managing the reservoirs to provide capacity to hold the water. We will continue to provide updates as the situation develops.
