Lake Murray Real Estate Update 08-22-2011

Evaporation, drought bringing lake level down – A few weeks back during the heat wave, a neighbor commented that the water level was steadily dropping and it was likely SCE G was pulling the plug in order to meet the rising electrical demand. The neighbor’s analysis was partly true. On July 26, the utility did pull the plug in response to a system failure. Stream flow below the dam reached 18,000 cfs before returning to the minimum flow of 500 cfs – some 6 hours later. The lake level dropped almost one inch that day, partly because of generation, and partly because of evaporation and municipal water withdrawls. Other than that recent discharge, SCE & G’s use of the lake’s water this summer for emergencies has been to say the least, miniscule.
