Falling Creek Dam Repair

January 7th, 2006 - The discharge gates were closed on Friday, January 6th at 5pm. Look for the reservoir to reach regular overflow depth in the next couple of days.

January 5th, 2006 - Good News Everyone! Check out this announcement from the County and from the FCRPS regarding the water level in the reservoir:

On Wednesday, January 4, 2006 the County will commence testing operation of the discharge doors at the dam. If all works as expected the doors will be closed for keeps this coming Friday, January 6. We can then expect the water in the reservoir to rise to normal overflow levels starting that date.

Please be ready with your dock construction work by this coming Friday.

If you want additional information send an e-mail to those designated on our web site or call me, Hans Schuurmans at 314-6336. The Agenda for our January 18, 2006 meeting will be issued shortly.
