Geosmin concerns rise as river flow drops and dam upgrades affect water
Water flows in the river languish under 800 cubic feet per second while typical levels run 6,000 to 7,000 cfs. Drought and dam renovations at Bowersock Dam may keep more water in the river and its mill pond, increasing time for organisms to grow and raise geosmin levels. City considers higher water rates and a $19 million treatment upgrade after a 280,000 annual carbon cost, with a feasibility study due this year.
