As a very very occasional reader of these message boards, I'm sure I've overlooked or can't find the answer to this, but: last year they only took the lake level down to 483 feet as I recall, and it paid off well as we had decent water levels last summer. Now I see it's at 481, maybe (?) headed down to 480 again like the old days. Was the 483 drop a one-time deal? Has Ala Power decided next spring will bring high rains to refill the Lake? Is it simply that drought has not provided enough water to keep levels at 483, or that demand for lake power has been extraordinarily high? I'm sure all you guys have kept up with this and cussed and discussed it in great detail but I can't readily find where it was all talked about. Are we looking at probable low water levels next spring/summer?
