reporter: and also we understand from the water district they tell us that you see this big spout, water spout behind me. they say they may be turning that off some time soon. and how that's not really good news. the reason why they turn that off, it means the spillway is moving a little too fast. so that means that's going to be the only concentrated area where water is coming from from this reservoir which means a lot more water will be going up stream into a lot of areas. that's their big watch. if you live along any waterways at all, rivers and creek, watch out for what may be
