SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - October 1934 to September 2003, October 2005 to current year. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1313.

GAGE - Water stage recorder. Datum of gage is 6,664.78 ft. above NAVD of 1988 from Level II GNSS survey conducted on July 20, 2023.

REMARKS - Water has been diverted from Currant Creek to Strawberry Reservoir since 1936. The Currant Tunnel diverts water from Currant Creek Reservoir to Strawberry Reservoir. The water is then diverted through the Strawberry Tunnel to the Great Basin via the Spanish Fork River for irrigation in Utah and Salt Lake Valleys as part of the Strawberry Valley project. Beginning in 1962, Deep Creek was diverted intermittently into private fish ponds and entered Currant Creek 400 ft below the gage. However, since approximately 1976 when the upstream pond was washed out, Deep Creek has been entering Currant Creek 30 ft above gage. Flow is partially regulated by Currant Creek Reservoir (total capacity, 15,670 acre-ft) 15 miles upstream, beginning October 4, 1982. Records are generally good, except for estimates, which are poor.
