Water level restored at lake in Flint after problem with dam

Posted

The water level has been raised at a lake in Flint after a dam gate that was stuck led to a significant drop in water levels over the weekend.

Mark Adas, an engineer for the city of Flint, tells The Flint Journal that the water level at Kearsley Lake was being adjusted during the evening hours on Saturday when the gate became stuck in the open position.

Employees worked Saturday for several hours to lower the gate, but it took work by a crew on Sunday to get it back in the proper position. Water levels were raised Monday.
