I know this is not the best time of year to do the Jug... but has anyone done it recently and can say how the water level is? Thanks.

Yeah, no. There is a reason no one does the Jug in summer. The water levels get very low and the water gets downright nasty. Plus with monsoon season, there is a very real risk of flash flooding.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming, "Wow What a Ride!"
