Although the lake is 10" lower than last year. it is almost exactly normal for this time of the year based upon the Bizer Lake Level report of this morning. Based on the Bizer site, we are +.03 feet with respect to normal or less than a half inch over normal.

I am very impressed with the great work of the crew at the dam. They had a lot to be conerned with this year and we are in great shape right now. Mother Nature helped too. What looked like a flood waiting to happen simple has not happened. The dry weather of the recent three to four weeks has really helped.

Thanks so much to the crew at the dam for all they do.

Good article..thanks.

Lake is now only about 2" from normal Summer high, which is nice!

It is 10" under where it was on this date last year, which was about 8" above normal full level, so we are about right.
