Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 24, 2011 Root Admin Posted October 24, 2011 Empire Electric is installing a new gate system all the way across the top of Powersite Dam starting today. They estimated the work will take about 2 weeks. For the duration, Taneycomo will be drawn down to allow work to be done at Powersite. To keep the upper lake watered, the Corp will run about 30-40 mw of power from Table Rock Dam and Empire will run the sam amount of water from Powersite. This will put more water, higher level of water in the upper end of Taneycomo with fairly fast current but not much will be noticed down past Cooper Creek. Boating past Trout Hollow will be tricky. It will be shallow! Be careful of bars and stumps even in the middle of the lake and channel. Past Fall Creek will be even more tricky.
Members brokeoff Posted October 24, 2011 Members Posted October 24, 2011 Does this mean there will be no wading up by the dam and outlets for the next two weeks or will we still be able to wade?
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 24, 2011 Author Root Admin Posted October 24, 2011 Means they'll be running one unit. Wading is still possible.
Members brokeoff Posted October 24, 2011 Members Posted October 24, 2011 Thanks Phil, As long as I'm standing in the water life is good. Catching is a whole different story
