Elk Lake dam abandonment plan stirs locals
Elk Creek Lake residents face a setback as Dairyland Power Cooperative files to abandon the dam, risking loss of rehab funds and potentially forcing repayment of state and federal grants. If dam removal proceeds the shoreline would become a creek, dropping property values for nearby homeowners. The district fears heavy sediment and weed buildup behind dozens of homes. Dairyland had tied ownership to power lines and a 1942 agreement with Eau Claire Electric Cooperative.
