Pit R Ph #7
Pit R PH #7 is a hydroelectric power plant located in California's Shasta County. The plant was built in the 1960s and has a capacity of 40 megawatts. The hydrology of the area is influenced by the Pit River, which provides the water that the plant uses to generate electricity. The river also provides irrigation water for agriculture in the area, including crops such as alfalfa, hay, and potatoes. The area has a significant snowpack, which also contributes to the water supply for the plant and for agriculture. The region is popular for recreational activities such as fishing, camping, and hiking, with the nearby Shasta Lake providing opportunities for boating and water sports. Overall, Pit R PH #7 is an important source of hydroelectric power and water for agriculture and recreation in the region.

About Pit R Ph #7
What is the water level at Pit River Ph #7 Reservoir right now?
As of August 10, 2026, Pit River Ph #7 Reservoir is holding 33,205 acre-ft, about 104% of normal for this date. Pool elevation and the year-over-year trend are shown above.
Is Pit River Ph #7 Reservoir high or low right now?
Compare the percent-of-normal figure on this page: above 100% means storage is higher than the historical average for the date (a wet year), below 100% means lower (a dry year or drought). The daily-levels chart shows the current trend.
Where does the data for Pit River Ph #7 come from?
Daily storage, pool elevation, and release rates are sourced from USGS, USBR, and USACE monitoring stations. Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
Storage observations are updated daily by the operating agency. The 15-day weather forecast refreshes throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- check the "as of" timestamp on the storage card.
What does the Hazard hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card below for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this reservoir, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
