Visitors and summer residents along Douglas Creek in the Medicine Bow Range can expect higher than normal flows today and tomorrow as Rob Roy Reservoir continues to fill.
Rob Roy is one of six reservoirs controlled by the City of Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities (BOPU). The small lake is expected to fill as early as today.
With the warmer temperatures this week, increased snowmelt has been flowing into Rob Roy.
Once the reservoir fills, a spillway will safely and naturally drain additional water back into Douglas Creek, resulting in the flow increase.
People living near or visiting Douglas Creek and surrounding riverways should exercise caution.
