We have increased releases from Fontana Reservoir to 18,600 cubic feet per second (139,500 gallons per second) to help bring Fontana Lake levels back to normal summer elevations. Releasing water using Fontana's spillway tunnels is a rare occurrence and we're forecasted to release water for at least a week. #Fontana #ncwx | Tennessee Valley Authority

We are releasing water through the spillway tunnel to bring the reservoir back down to normal summer pool. Using the spillway tunnel at Fontana is a rare occurrence– we've only used it four times in the last eight years! | Tennessee Valley Authority | Facebook
