Flood gates at Table Rock Dam were opened on Saturday!

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers opened the spillway gates in this normal non-damaging release.

Crews opened gates one through nine at 3 pm on Saturday afternoon.

The spillway gates are being used because two of the four hydropower units are offline for scheduled maintenance.

Those downstream in Lake Taneycomo area, should be aware that the water moving will be swift and to take care along the banks.
