Snow Falling in Chicagoland....

All Slide gates remain fully closed.

Lake Level UP

We are back to just above DNR Summer Target Level of 776.24.

Enjoy the good weather and great lake level for this time of the season!!

Compliments of your ever vigilant RKLD Board.

Indianford Powerhouse Inspection Update

While we are prepared for the inspection work to begin at the Indianford powerhouse, RKLD received just 2 bids total, and both were deemed unacceptable.

We will confer with attorneys, again, to insure we are in compliance with State Law on RFPs, and anticipate work to begin when lake levels are drawn down to the DNR Winter mandated levels.

All,

The overhead span of 3 phase 12.47kv conductors over the river are de-energized and have a few red guy guards placed on them for visibility.  Keep in mind the 2 pole structure on the west side of the river is energized to keep the transformer serving the dam energized.  

We will plan on keeping it this way for the month of October until you inform me your work is completed.  For an electrical emergency on our system, we may have to re-energize the line until the problem is corrected.  If this occurs, I will let you know immediately.

If you have any questions, please give me a call.
