From an article I read, and I can't find it again right now, the reservoir will be down to 5% or lower for about 8 weeks starting in September. They will not completely destroy the dam and start over, but will be treating the dam from inside with a special Calking that will make the dam stronger.
Then throughout the winter and spring they will let the dam fill up as much as possible for the irrigation season. And in the fall they will suck it way down again and put the next round of calking in. They anticipate being done with all the repairs in the fall of 2015. So we will see a few years of this big fluctuation. I think the fishing will really get screwed up by all of this, but it has got to be done.
