A 3 foot drawdown will commence in early November 2023. The drawdown will be managed until March 1, 2024 in order to restore the normal water surface elevation by early April 2024.
Please note: With any drawdown and refill periods, there are risks that the desired level and refill may not be achieved within the timeframes due to weather events and conditions.
