URGENT: Your Input Needed Today on Impact of High Lake Lanier Levels

Written by 

Dear All

Beginning in 2006, the Lake Lanier Association has advocated raising Lake Lanier's year-round full pool from 1071 to 1073 feet above sea level as a way of accommodating North Georgia's water supply storage needs.

Because of the recent rains, we expect the Lake may reach 1073 within the next 24 hours.  If you live on the lake, we want your input on whether, and how, the current raised level is impacting you.  Please reply to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with your comments and, if you are experiencing any negative repercussions, please be sure to include the date and time at which you make your physical observation (so we can correlate the problem with the exact level of the lake).  Photographs of problems are welcome.  
If you have no negative impact and like the higher level, please let us know that as well.
 
Your Association is working for you to preserve a clean and full Lake Lanier.
 
Thank you for your response.
