Another .05 of a foot gone overnight. It's a reservoir, you idiots. What good is the water supply of Atlanta when it hits the Gulf of Mexico? Why do you need water downstream when it's been raining in FL and AL for the past two days?

Well said Leo! I love the comment that "its a resivior you idiots" My cove looks like the amazon jungle and my house is on the market. Lucky me. When are you going to realize that standard weather patterns WILL NOT support your full pool threshold? Now Forsyth is requesting access for drinking water putting a further burden on lake levels. Do the residents that live on this dry hole in the ground factor into any decision making. If I show up for some proposed meeting on this subject, will my voice even be heard? I am not alone here. If we do not see at least two significant tropical events pass over this hole annualy then prepare to take the boat out of the water during the only season you would use it, wait for your recently repaired dock to fold up like an origami airplane and my most favorite, watch the equity in my house leave faster than the speed of light. Come dredge my cove as a professional courtesy. Reach out in some way. I am quite confident there some consessions that can be extended to us. You will have to acknowlede us some day or is your silence actually you screaming "we are not even on the radar"?

I think I figured it out. If a celebrity is not losing someone close to him/her, some meaningless fishing tournement is going on, a drunk is not running over kids or the corp.is not in the spotlight, lake levels are so far down the importance list that we are nothing more than something for the Lakes On-Line meaningless website to ignore. OK, at least this website gives us a chance to reach out and have our voice ignored. As much as it pains me to say, thank you for this site as if not for this, Leo and myself would have no other arena to express the opinions of ourselves and so many others. As for you COE, what if every homeowner left the shores of your dirt hole? Would you care? What if every Marina said, you know what, I am losing money! What if every revenue stream you count on except the missapropriated funds you receive from the "Obama" admin were all that's left, would you change your tune? Alabama and Florida don't seem as important now, do they?
If we don't matter then have the guts to say so. I have more pressing issues to deal with like selling my now worthless property. Say it! Show some intestinal fortitude. Say it! so I can at least have that and not your pretentious silence. You make me and many others sick.

All of these corps goons parrot the same line 'this lake was not originally built for recreation'. Fine, so 50 years ago the infrastructure was not in place to make this so accessible to Atlanta. Now it is, now it generates tax revenue and jobs, but these guys don't care, and they are not accountable to anyone, which is sad. We have a senator and representatives that should be our voice, so that is our only avenue. I think they all gather around and have a small office party every time they release water, pretending that they can hear all the people on the lake moan in despair as they watch the lake dry up around them.

Here comes the 10 foot marker again. I vote that we simply leave the dam open continuously until the lake is empty. Then replace all govt. employees authorized to make decisions regarding the lake and turn it over to private developers so we can construct the worlds largest and most useless hole in the ground. Makes as much sense as the current lake level management philosophy!

Government should be limited to only the most basic of functions; picking up the trash, paving the roads, etc. We have rain, they let out water, even though it is raining like hell downstream of here. If New Orleans was below Buford Dam, the only dry spot in Louisiana for six months out of the year would be the French Quarter

A good analogy would be running your air conditioning with all windows and doors open.

Please get rid of the graph. Don't we have enough reminders of a lake that will never return! Just post the level if you must.

Has anyone watched the latest "Water Resources Outlook" cartoon? Who pays these guys? I am sure it is us. Apparently we may or may not have some sort of weather pattern in the future. What a joke! No wonder no one pays attention to this. I can't wait for the next one to come out. Get jobs!
