That reduction will begin on Oct. 16 this year.

Once the draw down period is over, I am sure they will be looking to lower the lake.
The current oversee of the lake doesn't seem to mind high water levels, which is good as hopefully over time the statistical average can be increased so the lake doesn't get to low at the end of the summer.....
I would guess that after the two week period flows will be increased probably to around 500cfs to start drawing the lake down.... the over goal is to have the lake around 503 feet above see level before the spring melt begins...
