Yeah, they really pulled the plug on Spruce Run. It appears to have dropped more than six feet in the last two weeks.

I don't know anything about how they engineer our municipal water supply, but looking at Spruce Run it would seem to me that it would be a lot more efficient if they just had a pipe running from the reservoir to the weir. It looks like they just dump the reservoir to make the entire South Branch higher and they catch a percentage of that water at the weir.
