At 1315 CDT the velocity reading at the Kingston Water Treatment Plant was a
positive 0.1 foot per second.
Please be advised that river velocities past Kingston Water Treatment plant are sensitive to
external factors (such as localized wind, storms, plant pump operations, and boats) that may
cause readings to drop briefly and then recover, River Operations is committed to operating the
reservoirs in a manner conducive to positive velocities past Kingston Water Treatment plant to
the maximum extent possible and will continue to do so.
