Water at Long's boulderfield?

I understand usually year round. But given this year's dryness, still running?

There was filterable water running near the privy on the 23rd. It had rained a little the previous evening but not a ton. There was considerable flow coming out of the Loft as well, water would have been filterable all the way to the ledge turnoff on that route.

On Saturday 8/29 I marked a waypoint of a pool at the beginning of the boulderfield that was large enough to filter water from.
