Title: Lake Cumberland lake level
Post by: JEMdad on November 25, 2008, 04:25:43 PM

Just saw the new report on the contract to build a concrete dam within the dam. There had been speculation that when the grouting was completed that the lake level might be allowed to rise 5 to 10 feet. Does anyone have any info on that? I would like to see the lake level go up, so there would be more cold water stored for release.

I've not heard anything but I haven't been asking about it either.
