Water is flowing for the first time in over a decade into the foot diameter hole due to the recent storms in California. The unique spillway operates similarly to a bathtub drain. Heavy downpours are swelling creeks and rivers and bringing threats of flooding in California's already soggy northern and central regions. The National Weather Service map shows floods, snow and wind advisories for the northern part of the state. Water flows rapidly just below the Monticello Dam as it is released into Putah Creek.

'Glory Hole’: California storms see return of bizarre lake phenomenon (VIDEO) — RT Viral
At 22 meters in diameter, the hole sucks in water from the dam to prevent flooding at a rate of 1, cubic meters per second when it reaches capacity, according to Atlas Obscura. The water is carried through a large concrete pipe and emptied about meters away. The hole has been cordoned off for safety reasons since when a woman was pulled in and drowned. During the dry season, when the exit of the spillway is visible, skateboarders have been known to use it as a ramp — although this isn't recommended. Otherwise, boats and swimmers cannot get too close.
Not a safe place to swim, in , a UC Davis graduate student was pulled into the glory hole while swimming and drowned. The dam and spillway were constructed between and , choking off Putah Creek and drowning the remains of the town of Monticello. At very low water levels, the foundations of the town can be seen in parts of the lake. The outside diameter is 72 feet, slowly narrowing to 28 feet at the exit. While this is the largest drain of its kind, there are other Glory Hole spillways around the world, including one in Whiskeytown Lake, and in Northern California.
The moment a lone duck was sucked into a foot-deep drain at a reservoir in northern California , and reportedly survived, has been captured on video. Known locally as the "Glory Hole," the giant spillway is designed to capture excess water at Lake Berryessa reservoir in Napa County. Rick Fowler, the lake's water-resources manager, filmed the bird as it drifted toward the fast-swirling vortex and dropped down into the hole. The viral video sparked a debate about the fate of the bird, with some experts predicting it must have died, but Mr. Fowler said he saw it survive the foot fall.
