SRP started 2026 operations of the C.C. Cragin pumping system on May 7th. Despite a generally dry winter, C.C. Cragin Reservoir observed above normal runoff in the fall of 2025 and additional runoff in the later winter to fill the reservoir to 74% capacity (11,000 AF). SRP plans to operate the system with minimum pumps through the summer and into the fall. Mid-year operation updates will be posted to this page.

Glossary

Elevation: "Remaining" refers to how many feet the water is below the maximum conservation storage level.

Runoff: Refers to water produced from the watershed from rain and snowmelt.

Reservoir release: Refers to the amount of water being released from the reservoirs.

Diversions: Canals to which the water is diverted at Granite Reef Diversion Dam once it is released from the reservoirs to satisfy water demand in the Valley.
