Greetings from your lake board!
A few reminders about some very exciting things that will begin today on Upper Rockyford Lake. Today we begin a process to improve, protect, and ensure the safety and health of our lake.
1. Lake level will gradually begin dropping today through the first Saturday in October. As pictured in the photos, Thom Bristol, Tom Teuber, and Wesley Graybill got busy on Labor Day and began removing the fencing around tower to enable the water level to drop--and it worked. Now is the time for you to repair shorelines, walls, docks, etc. Remember: homeowners cannot extend their dry ground property into the lake. Also, if you have a floating dock, please make provisions for the drop in water to protect your dock.
2. Engineering for the removal and refitting of the outflow tower gate will begin week of Sept. 13th.
3. The lake level will be raised to half full to test the new gate before completely filling the lake.
4. One of the reasons for delaying the refill of the lake is so that we can also clean the lake bed. So please come out on September 18th, 8:30 a.m., meet on the spillway, and get ready to clean out the lake. There's no telling what we might find in there! Don't forget your mud boots. ALternate rain date will be SEpt. 25th.
5. October 2nd is the day the water level will begin returning to full level.
See you out on the lake! Happy Labor Day!
