Water Level

At 6:30am Monday, the wicket gates inside the powerhouse were closed. As of 6:30 am Wednesday, the gates remain closed for an unforeseen time.

We cannot risk damaging the wicket gates with the amount of rock and debris that would be flushed into the turbine pits through the unprotected opening.

The RKLD attorney is discussing options with the DNR attorney, as of late Tuesday.

Lake levels have increased about 1.56 inches during this time.

At 776.29, lake levels are approaching the summer maximum level.

We are nearly a foot over where the winter water orders mandate.
