The Corps of Engineers has informed JC Post that the outflow at Milford Lake will be reduced Thursday afternoon from 6,000 cubic feet per second down to 200 cubic feet per second.

The Lake had been 10-feet high, but outflows that were initially set at 8,000 cubic feet per second several days ago have reduced the lake level to 1,144.28 feet. That’s just below the normal conservation pool level of 1,144.40 feet.

Water had been held back at Milford Lake to prevent downstream flooding, resulting in the earlier high lake level.
