Lake Oroville dropped to its lowest level since September 1977 and was below 643.5 feet above sea level on the morning of Aug. 3. The Edward Hyatt Power Plant is expected to lose the ability to produce power due to low water levels in early August.
Water has been released through the base of the dam to maintain river temperature requirements in the Feather River below the dam.
