Tims Ford Reservoir Draw Down

[roberts618]

Does anyone know the approximate date that TVA will start the pull down of the lake?  Last year I remember they increased the flow to 420 CFS for several weeks starting about October 15.  Wonder if it is the same schedule this year?

unless we have lots of rain, from May 15th until Oct 15th, TVA is supposed to keep it around 883 ft elevation. I'd say Oct 15th will be the earliest we will see the increases.

It needs a good flushing now, in my opinion.
