(HOLDREGE, Neb.) –The Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District’s board of directors tended to routine business at its monthly board meeting on Monday.
Civil engineer Tyler Thulin reminded the board that Johnson Lake is scheduled to be drawn down beginning the last week of February for an upgrade project related to the electronic control systems at the hydroplants below the lake. Fluctuating lake
levels will make it unsafe for anyone to be on the ice, including ice fishermen and snowmobilers, through at least mid-March.
Thulin also reported that Lake McConaughy’s elevation was at 3,245.6 feet as of Monday morning (volume of 1.21 million acre-feet, or 70 percent of capacity).
