PARK WATER LEVELS: Despite a Tier 1 shortage declaration for Colorado River operations that began on Jan. 1, 2026, CAP is not expecting the Lake Pleasant water level to be significantly impacted in 2026. CAP expects the lake level to go down, but not outside normal historical operating ranges. There is a lot of uncertainty after 2026, making it difficult to project lake levels beyond this year. CAP will provide more information as it becomes available. Updated 2/8/2026
