Ledgemere Dam Update from Eagle Creek Renewable Energy:
Lake Arrowhead elevation is currently being raised. Since the rivers and streams that flow into Lake Arrowhead are low currently, it may take longer than this upcoming weekend, September 14-15, to reach normal elevation. Boaters should continue to exercise caution.
Ledgemere Hydro, LLC hereby provides notice of an upcoming flashboard and dam crest repair event at the Ledgemere Hydroelectric Project located on Lake Arrowhead. This requires a reduction in the typical lake level by 1.5 feet.
The lowering of Lake Arrowhead is required to perform dam maintenance.
Beginning the week of September 9, 2024, Lake Arrowhead elevation will be lowered by 1.5 feet. Lake Arrowhead elevation will remain lowered for up to four days. In the interest of public safety, the boat launch will be closed when lake lowering begins and for the full duration of the low water conditions. Boats and other watercrafts that require launch usage for removal should be removed from the lake prior to September 9, 2024.
Ledgemere Hydro will provide schedule updates if changes to this planned lowering occur.
Ledgemere Hydro will request additional water releases from upstream entities that govern releases into Lake Arrowhead, if feasible, to minimize lake refill time. The time required to refill the lake will depend on weather conditions at the time and may take additional time to reach the typical level.
