APCO has used the excuse that they have to release water from Lake Martin to keep the Alabama River navigable. If this is true, why can't more water be released from the other Tallapoosa and Coosa river lakes for the same purpose? As of today, Lake Martin is down 6.9'. The other lakes that could feed the Alabama above Montgomery are down as follows: Jordan -1.5', Mitchell -2.2', Lay -2.1', Logan Martin -3.0', Neely Henry -1.2', Weiss -1.4', Tallassee -1.9', Yates -1.4', and Wedowee -3.2'.

Why does Lake Martin have to suffer most of the misery? Could it be that APCO makes more money generating electricity at Martin Dam? Someone needs to ask APCO some tougher questions. Don't be naive about our water level situation.
