Williston Lake levels questioned in legislature
In the provincial question period the opposition pressed Minister Dan Miller on BC Hydro actions lowering Williston Lake water levels at Bennett Dam. They cited river flows to reduce Alberta flooding, noting levels fell below 2150 feet and to 2147.01 feet last week, arguing for stopping flow until the lake rises above 2150 to protect Mackenzie jobs and water quality. The Premier defended Hydro instructions to keep levels at 2150, saying rise is expected in a few days.
