For Lake Lanier, 2009 will be remembered as the year that pulled the lake out of a severe drought and raised the water level back to full pool. It has been an exciting year for the water level including several occurrences of storms that raised Lake Lanier several feet at a time. 2009's rainy blessings became too much in September with widespread flooding damaging property and taking lives.
The COE has been trying to lower Lake Lanier to below full pool (which is normal for this time of year). Today the water level at Lake Lanier has been dropped below full pool at 1070.98. The COE claims that it needs to drop the lake to 1070 to have room to store future storm runoff without creating erosion problems along the banks of Lake Lanier. The rain is supposedly going to continue throughout the winter months so don't expect to dry out anytime soon.
Now is the time to look forward into 2010 with Lake Lanier sitting almost at full pool and the water war between the states continuing to rage. Hopefully this year Lake Lanier will remain at or near full pool and businesses dependent on Lake Lanier will be prosperous.
Thank you for your support during the ups and downs of 2009. We are looking forward to keeping you up to date with the latest news about Lake Lanier throughout 2010.
