Powersite Gates Fixed

[Phil Lilley]

I was informed today that the gates at Powersite Dam have been fixed for a few weeks........  they did it without lowering the lake.

So....  question is why are they running so much water on Taney?  I guess you may have to watch Beaver's level to guess when they'll slow it down to the point of leaving it off for a while.  Table Rock is plenty low enough.

I want to head to Taney next weekend. Guess its a crapshot on what type of generation we will be getting. 

I ain't skeerd of the dark though though. Might just have to do some night fishing.

Running water at night too, right?

[Phil Lilley]

You can see exactly what they've been doing by going to the menu above and clicking Quick Levels.  See the Table Rock Dam charts.  They aren't shutting the water down even at night - for now.  That has to change very soon I'd think because Table Rock is fast approaching 915 feet.

Wasn't 915 the old lake level?

Well hopefully the lower generation weekends will continue till oct 10/11th.

Got word - the Corp is running water to pay for the liquid O2 they're having to inject into the turbines to keep the DO levels in Taneycomo at respectable levels.  So no telling how long they'll keep up this generation pattern.

Phil, Thanks for passing  along the information!

[Phil Lilley]

I'm wrong. Not running water to pay for O2. The liquid O2 is cheaper than buying alternative power.

Thanks for the update Phil!   We'll be fishing the week Duane and MC return.
