Someone please enlighten me. So the flood of 2003, the winter water level was the "normal" 480, correct? Would the landowners not have gotten the same results from the water being three feet higher? I assume that APCO opened the flood gates to account for all of the water, flooding those 11 landowners downstream. I am not exactly sure what dictates the flood gates being wide open, besides rain and demand for power generation, but to me, 7' would take a whole lot of water to fill the lake. I am sure the APCO has certain times when they need to flow a certain amount of water through just to keep the proper amount of power generated, but I am not understanding how keeping the level lower would be beneficial to the landowners.
