2025 Year in Review

“In 2025, we raised the height of the dam by 109 feet above the original structure. This season was a huge success, and our team met a ton of challenges in raising Gross Dam. We had legal challenges and adverse weather challenges. We also had to navigate power supply interruptions under Xcel's new Wildfire Mitigation Plan. Despite these setbacks, our team rose to the challenge, and we are endlessly appreciative of the hard work and dedication.
