DNR Winter Draw Down Has Begun

TO ALL:

Just to let our electors know, on Friday 10/15, the first gate opening occurred to comply with the Mickey Mouse DNR operating orders.

A second gate was opened on Saturday.

From today (Monday), we must drop another 8.4 inches to reach the DNR winter level drawdown by November 1st. As you can see from the graph link, even after we reach the winter target level, and gates are closed, we will still lose water level, given the spillway’s elevation is lower than the winter target level.

Gate Log

Hope everyone had an enjoyable boating summer. As for me, I’ll stretch the boating out as far as I can, so long as I don’t tear-up my last prop.
