Wicket Gates Remain Closed

Work resumed this morning with the back-hoe reaching the lengths and depths we needed via the temporary rock path.

Divers returned to remove the last of the rock and sediment that prevented the steel racks from seating evenly along the span of 66 feet.

As of 1:00pm today, 5 of the 22 new steel sections had been placed.

Today's water level is 776.54. This is almost 14 inches over the winter water level target.

As you know, the RKLD has petitioned the DNR to end the winter draw down of the lake. If we prevail at the contested case hearing, the current water levels would be roughly 4 inches over the summer level target, within permissible summer operations.
