After Tahoe's wet season, some water recreation businesses that were expecting to reap its benefits are now planning on staying closed.Businesses based out of Tahoe City like the Truckee Raft Company and Truckee River Rafting that rent rafts below the Lake Tahoe Dam recently announced they will be closed until further notice.That's because the water level in parts of the Truckee River is so shallow you can see the rocks and the shoreline."When the flow is too low, those rocks surface, and the rafts would get stuck on them and you wouldn't be able to make it thru certain sections," said Martin Anthony Adams, manager of the Truckee Raft Company.Adams adds that they company is especially disappointed because last year their season ended early due to low water levels. If some water is released, the business could consider opening in August but the season ends later that month.This means that local hiring in the area will also be impacted. But while it's bad news for businesses – it's also great for Tahoe's main water supply. The U.S. District Court Water Master which manages the Lake Tahoe Dam says they can only release water for one specific reason: to meet demands. With this year's wet season, there's enough water flowing into the system unregulated."With the full Tahoe we can typically make it about three years of average -to below-average water years, so to fill it up is pretty important to maintain our water supply to get us through those really bad years," said David Wathen, chief deputy water master.So despite shallow waters in parts of the Truckee River, it meets the minimum water level needed before Lake Tahoe Dam is required to release water.Wathen adds that water will be released into the river if it continues to rain in order to maintain an appropriate water level at the lake.Other businesses further down the Truckee River have remained open and will be running through September.
