You already know this, but for the sake of some others, here goes. The folks on Lake Mitchell won't see drastic changes to their water levels this year for important reasons. Lakes Lay, Mitchell and Jordan are not reservoirs. APCO calls them "run of the river" lakes. They are also on the Coosa River which has far more inflow than Martin and Harris reservoirs on the Tallapoosa. Also, any water released from Georgia's Lake Altoona would not find its way to the Tallapoosa but to the Coosa.

I've fallen prey several times this year already and decried the early and rapid drop in the water level. And I'm confident that I'll decry it more as this year rolls on. But every now and then we need to take a deep breath and deal with the fact that this is still the best place to be. We'll all enjoy and be thankful for whatever water we will have. Some years will be very enjoyable because of what He provides. Some years will be bad because of what He doesn't provide AND because of APCO's poor water management practices on wonderful Lake Martin.
