Dillon Reservoir, the state's largest reservoir in the Denver Water system, is running low. That's forcing boat ramps to close earlier than usual and raising concerns about water supply for the immediate future of the reservoir.

The reservoir in Summit County is currently 86% full, compared to 95% at this time last year and below the historic average of 98%. The reservoir's water elevation is at 9,005 feet, about seven feet under the 30-year seasonal average.

Frisco Bay Marina Manager Logan Snyder said water levels have been dropping one to three inches per day since late June, even with the recent onset of storms .

"There's a lot of folks that are bummed out that the season's ending a little bit early," Snyder said. "It's kind of a blow to see it go this low."
