City of Whitewater Gives Update on Lakes Drawdown Project

According to an update from the City of Whitewater regarding the lakes drawdown project, the siphons were removed this week and city staff is preparing for refilling the lakes. Field and Stream Restoration will be completing some shoreline restoration by adding erosion control and some new aquatic plants along the park shoreline areas. This will take place at the end of this week and into next week. The lakes will begin to refill on the morning of Monday, June 13. The lake levels will begin to climb, and it is anticipated that this will take approximately a week or two. Once the lakes are refilled, the next step will be to plan for stocking fish. This will take place in the fall of 2022 and the fall of 2023.
