In a discussion last year on this topic, one discussant who seemed very knowledgeable on Alabama Power polices stated that AP takes 0.8 feet PER WEEK from the lake to take care of Gorgas. The annual lake-level chart on this site page seem to back him up. So do the "winter-pool and summer-pool" goals. The normal high at the beginning of the summer is 510 feet. The normal low by the end of teh summer is 496 ft, or a drop of 14 ft. That works out to about 0.8 ft for every week from the beginning of June to the end of September when the lake begins to fiil up again. Supposedly this is because the river temperatures rise in October, so AP doesn't need the cool waters from Smith lake anymore to cool Gorgas. So now you can join the crowd of us who watch the lake go down every week.
