In Vermont, a review of the latest reservoir and dam data suggests that most water storage levels are within the range of their historical averages for this time of year. The observations from April 21, 2025, indicate that the East Barre Detention Reservoir and Lake Memphremagog are at water surface elevations matching their averages, with 1129 feet (slightly below the average of 1129.38 feet) and 682 feet (precisely at the average), respectively. However, there are a few exceptions. The Wrightsville Detention Reservoir is recording slightly higher levels at 637 feet against an average of 635.38 feet. Lake Champlain at Burlington is also experiencing higher water levels with a current elevation of 98 feet, surpassing the average of 96.42 feet. These elevated levels could be related to recent weather patterns, such as increased precipitation or melting snowpack affecting river flows. The Waterbury Reservoir, while not providing water elevation data, shows lower air temperatures than the historical average for April (10°C current versus 12.43°C average), which may indicate a prolonged winter season potentially affecting snowmelt rates and water inflow.

Notably, the conditions at Wrightsville and Burlington suggest that there might be increased inflows due to precipitation or upstream snowmelt, which could lead to careful monitoring and possibly the need for water management actions if levels continue to rise. The consistency of Lake Memphremagog's and East Barre Detention Reservoir's levels suggest stable conditions in those areas. The lower air temperatures at Waterbury Reservoir hint at a delayed onset of spring, which could have implications for local ecology and water management in the coming months. It's essential to continue monitoring these areas, cross-referencing with additional datasets such as snowpack depth, river flow rates, and weather forecasts, to anticipate any potential water management needs and to ensure the safety and functionality of Vermont's dams and reservoirs. As conditions can change rapidly with the weather, stakeholders should stay informed with the latest data and be prepared for any necessary response.
