OK we are asked to conserve because the same forcasters that were wrong about a dry spring have not said they might be wrong about the summer too. But what the news did not report is that Falls Lake Dam outflow was increased dramatically today. This is the real reason we were so low was mainly because the Corps did not back off on the outflow when the rain stopped last summer. We reached critical levels before they were asked to restrict the output. We could lift the ban completely now by slowing the outflow again. "GIVE ME A BREAK !"
The Floodgates are Open
