Because of continued dry conditions, and below-normal lake levels on Coosa River reservoirs, summer recreational releases of water from Jordan Dam are being suspended indefinitely.

The weekend releases below Jordan Dam normally take place from mid-June until the end of October. The releases are designed to accommodate kayakers and other water enthusiasts.

Depending on conditions along the Coosa, the recreational releases could be resumed at a later date. The public will be notified about any decision to resume the releases.    

People with boats and other water-related equipment and facilities should always be alert to conditions on Alabama Power reservoirs, and take the necessary steps to protect their property.

For updated information about lake levels, call Alabama Power's automated Reservoir Information System at 1-800-LAKES-11 (1-800-525-3711).
