In 2021, high water damaged the boat lock when we opened it to pass more water out of the Southern Lakes. As a result, repairs are now needed.
Over the years, and through our most recent round of boat lock engagement, we have heard that flood mitigation in the Southern Lakes is important to many people. We have also heard that cost, and the resulting impact to ratepayers, is important as well. We are currently completing an additional hydraulic study to determine the best course of action.
