The Huron River Chain of Lakes Association [formerly known as Portage, Base & Whitewood Owners Association (PBWOA)] has been advised that there may be a question of an earlier drawdown of our lake levels via the John Flook Dam. Both Washtenaw and Livingston Counties feel the discussion should include affected residents/riparians.
Historically, and per court order, the drawdown has been done in mid-November. However, it has been proposed that an earlier date (as early as October 1st) be required.
Please let the HRCOLA know what you think about this possibility. Your response to this question is greatly appreciated. Please respond to mail@hrcola.org before August 5th.

I would like to know what the reasoning is behind this drawdown. I don’t see a need to make it a month to a month and a half earlier without good reasoning.
Swansons would like to the reasoning behind the timing.
Why is there interest in drawing down earlier. There are some people that want the levels higher in October. People/Residents are enjoying boating!
