Lake Garfield residents push for Lake level reappraisal
Paul Carnegie of the Lads Beach Association said the group seeks to raise Lake Garfield within a foot of the spillway to restore boating and swimming. County Engineer Haaphy ordered a three foot lowering in April due to dam leaks, upheld by County Commissioners. Residents, including cottage renters, face ongoing heartache as they write off 1969 while planning further action at an upcoming meeting.
