Lake Ellsworth pumping continues as Harrison reports a five inch drop last week and forecasts further weekly declines. City official Na bers limits pumping to about 18 inches total before stopping, warning motors could burn out if water falls too low. He aims to return to readings or wait for zero vacuum on pumps, with two more weeks of activity likely as inflows from creeks vary.
