My point is that they didn't begin raising the water level as early as they should have. By their rule, lake level on say march 1st should be 483.4; in 2007, it was 480.5. There was no shortage of rainfall at the time. If you go back the last 2 years, the level at this time was within .5' of the rule, not the 3' it was this year. By the end of march they were 4' shy of the rule. By memorial day, when everybody started complaining, it had peaked to the seasons high at 4.5' below full pool.

Bottom line, if apco had followed the rule of level they set, we would have at least 3 feet more than we do today.
