The reservoir had its lowest recorded storage in 1991, which hovered around 25,000 acre-feet of water. Under current conditions, Cachuma is projected to reach 20,000 acre-feet of storage by October.
Both reservoirs have water elevations similar to what they normally see in spring, when they are filling. To be above a water level elevation of 5400 feet at Horsetooth, or 5739 feet at Carter, in the fall is unusual, to say the least. The 2013-2014 water year was a very busy one. Huge monsoon rains in September 2013 bumped the region out of drought status to above average for precipitation.
