Please don't tell me we are going to start bashing Riley just because the water level is steady! The real problem is that apco did not begin raising the level early enough. Back in the first week of march/last week of february, the level was 3' below the norm. No one can predict weather extreems like we are seeing, but we were not in a drought situation at the time and apco continued to release. Check the gragh for march. Don't say Riley didn't act soon enough, he acted when it was critical which is good government. Were it not for the governor, we would be at the mid 470's right now and facing a more probable low 2008.

I don't know at what level the water has to be before apco can no longer make electricity, but I do know that those extra days of power generation back in the spring have cost us a lot of water.
