Lake Martin scored a major victory when FERC approved Alabama Power's plan to raise the winter water level to 483, effective this year.
Alabama Power has also requested to move up the date to fill the Lake Martin to summer level up to January 15, 2008. THIS IS ALL GOOD NEWS.
Lake Martin's winter water level is usually 480 msl. It's lower than that this year, as Alabama has suffered through the worst drought recorded in 80 years. Pretty much the rest of the southeast has suffered, too, but Alabama and Georgia have been hit the hardest.
