Releases rising
Water releases from the Jamestown and Pipestem reservoirs have already been increased to 1,900 cubic feet per second, with more increases on the way, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Monday.
Information on how the releases will affect people and property was scant Monday as engineers from the corps, Stutsman County, the city of Jamestown, Bureau of Reclamation and Interstate Engineering were still gathering information.

Bicycle race Sunday at Pipestem
High water levels this year will make the annual Gear Grinder Mountain Bike Race at Pipestem Dam a little tougher than usual.
Areas on the trails that have been used in the past are underwater, so mountain bikers will be forced to navigate a new route, said Ken Gardner, trail manager at Pipestem Dam.
"Anytime the elevation of the trail drops down, we're underwater. So we had to reroute the trail," Gardner said.

Releases can’t keep up with high inflows at reservoirs
Jamestown is holding back a record amount of water for this time of the year in its two flood-control dams.
Jamestown Reservoir was at 1,444.47 feet elevation on Tuesday afternoon and needs to drop 13.47 feet by Nov. 1, according to data from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the National Weather Service. Pipestem Dam was at 1,480.63 feet elevation and needs to drop by 38.13 feet by Nov. 1 as well.
“The problem is it keeps rising and it’s going to be a real balancing act to get rid of this water,” said Jerry Bergquist, Stutsman County emergency manager.

Pipestem spillway drained for inspection
If the level of the Pipestem Reservoir looks a little low these days you’re right. The lake level has been drawn about a foot below the normal fall level to allow for cleaning on the main spillway structure on the dam’s backside, according to Bob Martin, dam manager.
