Lone Star Lake will probably be drained as early as next fall so a mechanism controlling the lake's water level can be built. Nesca, county commissioner, said yesterday.
A broken outlet gate at the bottom of the lake, used to control the water level, is causing up to 40 cubic feet of water a second to escape from the lake. Neiss said.
The draining and repairs could start as early as next fall. The job would take between three months and a year to complete the cost between $3,000 and $30,000, he said.
The lake is about ten miles southwest of Lawrence.
Lake drainage is possible
"The way it looks now, the mechanism is broken a lot worse than we first thought, so we will probably have to drain the lake," he said.
County officials have expressed concern that the dam at Lone Star Lake could be damaged by a storm.
say they have seen no evidence of damage so far.
The leak was reported to the county commission in a fact. Marc Martinez, the state's attorney, passed away the broken outlet gate, the water flows through an overflow pipe out of the lake into the river.
AN OFFICIAL from the state water resources department said that between 30 and 40 feet of water a second is going through the pipe. However, county officials have said that the level of the lake has not been greatly affected because rain springs are replenishing in lake's depth.
The county has hired a firm to tempi-
cer the pipe. Mike Dike, county engineer, said
this measure would be done after the first of
them.
Nees said the commission would wait until next year to renew the leak because there
was not enough money in this year's budget for the project.
THE GATE inside the overflow pipe has not worked since the lake was built in the mid 1980s. Neis said. Originally, the water level of the lake was to be lowered each year to protect dock boats and the large rocks against the dam from being damaged by ice.
Neis said that because the gate has never worked, the lake had remained relatively full. The constant action of the waves has eroded the rocks and, Neis said, when the lake is drained to repair the tower the rocks will be replaced.
He said that he did not know how much it would cost to replace the rocks, but that it would be minor compared to repairing the leak.
Commissioners are awaiting a study of the condition of the dam by the state water resources department and the Army Corps of Engineers in making a final decision on how to repair the leak.
