On March 15, we are to raise the water level of Lac La Belle by 12” to our specified summer level. We were concerned with the amount of ice on the lake and potential damage to the shoreline if the levels were raised. Also, with the amount of ice yet to melt, we wanted to maintain additional storage capacity. The City of Oconomowoc made a request to the DNR to allow the water to remain at the lower winter level until April 15, 2014. They have approved this request.
