NEWS UPDATES |
5/08/2013 - DAM UPDATE & FIRE HAZARD WARNING
EPICO, the Dam owners, are going to lower the lake to
18" below the cement to facilitate de-rusting and painting the metal
spillway. The lake will be low for at least another ten days. We are urging a moratorium on any fires until the fire index
lowers. We’ve had several fires in the community and don’t want to be the cause
of any more. It’s been far to dry to risk outdoor fires at this time.
