Where and who did you hear the rumor from? Do you consider the source reliable? Where did they hear it from?
I think you might end up loosing a lot of trust in your source.
|
It will stay exactly where it is until it goes down.
|
it goes up.

Pretty much reliable source from past experiences; a co-worker. But not having seen any discussion on the forum, I am optiomistic this is a bad rumor.
Perpetually,

Let me put it to you this way Confused, if you do not have water out in front of your house right now and the lake is not going to go up any further, then you do not have lakefront property.
So if you believe your coworker then I will buy your house for the price of non lakefront property plus I will be generous and give you a 25% premium over the non lakefront comp prices.
Anybody else want to sell what was lakefront property last year and the year before and before, etc, etc. etc.. at these prices?
LOL

getting your chain yanked my friend.
It could be true if it does not rain all summer, but nobody at work has the power to make that happen.....
uummmm; your friend isn't a priest, is he?

There are 3 "sea doo" houses and the whole Cascades subdivision that haven't had water in 9-10 months that may want to talk to you Maverick.

I don’t believe this rumor, but I will tell you another fact. Lake Harris, above us on the Tallapoosa, puts the plug in their dam April 1 and Alabama Power has some awfully expensive lots they are trying to sell on that lake. I hope they don’t make us pay to get that lake up to summer pool. They also have a big owner lobby that has been pushing for the last year to get help with their water levels. Will be interesting to watch.

Thanks for a scientific response, versus most of the emotional responses I've seen. Interesting, indeed.
As always,

If we do not get a series of heavy rains soon and the typical dry pattern of our summers coninue, expect the lake to rise to about 486 or so at best by the 4th of July and then slowly lower from there. This is a great example of why we need to all fight for higher winter water pool of 485 or so. Bringing our lake level up 10 ft requires alot of rain and water demands get more every year upstream.
Our best hope at this point would be tropical rains but that would stink for the folks to the south...no beneficial significant rains for the next two weeks...this is getting serious for not just lake owners folks...

I had some dock repair done this winter. Also Russell Lands built a huge riprap seawall in front of my place and several others. Neither of these things would have been possible if the level had dropped to only 485.
The Power Co. might not care about me and my dock, but I think they might listen if Russell asked them to lower the lake past 485, especially for seawall reasons. So I wouldn't get my hopes up about them dropping the lake less than they already do.

About ten years back APCO sent out a survey to certain residence on the lake. One of the questions was, " how would you feel about the lake level remaining at 485' year round "? I never heard the results of the survey but it was in the thinking stage. If it can be thunk, it can happen.

Russell would love higher levels because it would mean more money ........BTW; docks, sea walls, and rip-rap can be installed at full pool but it takes a bit more engineering. It is done all the time on lakes that have little change in level.

I think they will take it down 9-10 every other year for maintenance but will not keep it that low for long. Assuming they do anything. in 2013. Whatever.
