An LMLPA Member asked us to address a rumor that has been floating around. There are several variations, but the rumor contends that APCO is planning on lowering the lake 7 to 10 feet to do repairs to a part of the Dam.

This rumor has no basis in fact. LMLPA has contacted APCO Shoreline Management and verified that as of this time there are no plans to draw the lake down outside of the normal sea...sonal drawdown taking place between October 1 and December 31. This will take the lake to winter pool of 460 ft above sea level.

Further, the functional part of a hydroelectric dam - the turbine- can be repaired and replaced by simply taking it offline. There is no need to drain the lake to perform this kind of maintenance.

If at any time residents have questions or concerns about Alabama Power''s management of the lake, they may contact APCO Shoreline Management at 205.472.0481.
