Yes the gates have been closed since last Thursday to the best of my knowledge. I drive over the dam twice a day and live on the lake. My observation is the water in Lake Lanier has become a commodity which was not the case not so many years ago. As a revenue resource it's management is based as such not for flood control or any of the original reasons.

We have received enough rain over the last year and a half to keep the lake at near full pool drought included but the release schedule and increased demand by more people (population) to maintain levels is ever more challenging.

Now who bought the lake level gauge being faulty that was blamed for allowing the lake to slip 18 feet before anyone in charge noticed?
