Bowman Dam flows to fall Friday for dive inspection

The federal Bureau of Reclamation, in coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA Fisheries, will reduce fish and wildlife winter flows from Arthur R. Bowman Dam as appropriate for a dive inspection of the dam on Friday.

Flows will be reduced to 25 cubic feet per second (cfs) for 8 to 10 hours during the inspection. Flows may be further reduced to 10 cfs for some period of time if diver safety becomes a concern.

Arthur R. Bowman Dam is located on the Crooked River about 20 miles southeast of Prineville.
