Good Afternoon, I have a lake house on Logan Martin & was wondering if the LMLPA has had any contact with Alabama Power about keeping the lake water levels up longer than they do. This year we only had full pool less than 4 weeks & it is my understanding they still go by outdated lake management data & the winter level should only drop to around 462 which is almost where we are now. We have a beautiful lake & it is a shame we cannot enjoy it for a longer time period during the spring & summer months.

With Bass Pro Shop, Talladega Raceway, new St Vincent’s Hospital & a new shopping mall in Leeds the lake looks less desirable with low banks. Just last weekend we had 3 days of rain & Alabama Power lowered the lake several inches.

If we had higher levels for spring break the lake would attract families to spend the week at the lake instead of going to the gulf, spending $$ at local restaurants & businesses.

Please give me any insight you have and how I can help in what you have going
