Corps Plans Water Release Cut Along Savannah River
The U S Army Corps of Engineers will reduce water released from Clarks Hill Lake to 3600 cubic feet per second starting Sept 15 as drought lowers inflows. Flow into the river runs about 5000 cfs now versus 5800 normal, with Lake Hartwell Russell and Clarks Hill affected. Hydroelectric generation at all three lakes has fallen 43 percent.

County Plan Not Workable Says Sheriff and Attorney
Aiken County Sheriff Carroll G Heath and attorney John W Harte oppose the county plan to split dispatch services for law enforcement and fire EMS. They argue the proposal is ill conceived and risks security, insisting the civil suit will not be dropped until a satisfactory plan is proposed. A hearing before a resident judge will continue the injunction barring implementation.
