Water still missing from lakes 3 years after floods

[@randalljames1]

They are just trying to "break" property owners... As soon as they acquire all the land at a smoking deal? lakes will appear..

[@kdmigloo]

Just a government backed land grab attempt.

[@mch2359]

What actions did the lawyers take before the dam broke?

[@dknowles60]

broke fed gov law

[@kdmigloo]

They put unjust charges on the residents to drain their wallets

[@davidwhitten3596]

Dana Nessel levied a lawsuit against the operators of the dam to leave the water levels up to save "freshwater mussels"..... 😂😂. Where are the mussels now? 😮

[@dknowles60]

broke fed gov law. the fed gov ordered wixon lake drained

[@dknowles60]

all of the wrong Actions

This newscast indicates it’s three years later, but in all fairness, this is our fourth summer (20, 21, 22, and 23) without our water. And another year is expected totaling five. So glad I decided to retire to a “lake” but in all actuality, live on a “liver” (river+lake). Dear Harry, who’s responsible?

[@ktanner11]

Be happy that you are able to retire. Social security will be gone when the next generation comes to that time. Young people got the shaft. And on top of that people downstream including some of my family lost every in that flood, and your complaing about no water Get over it

[@davidwhitten3596]

Thank goodness the state stepped in to save the freshwater mussels. Had to keep them water levels up for the mussels....😂😂. Where are all the lake mussels now?

[@steveng-jz7mo]

The dam's didn't fail. The embankment next to the Edenville dam failed. The Sanford dam is 100 years old. Lack of proper inspection and maintenance, for the last 30 + years? The inspectors found out that everything is shot. The embankments, spillways and dams, all need major repair. It would be cheaper to raise the Titanic.

[@ferdburful6352]

I hope Sanford recovers. Also hope there’s a big festival when the lake reopens.

[@stevegood5655]

And it ruined the fishing, my dad and I, use to fish.

[@RAV1953]

One must hope all will recover from this catastrophic event however, who allowed the water level to be raised in May of 2020, just before the "once in 500 year rainfall??

[@ferdburful6352]

When do they normally raise it ? If lowered and then try to raise it would not be filled by end of summer.

[@mimiso516]

Blame the the freshwater mussels and the State of Michigan

[@dknowles60]

the State of Michigan allowed it

[@RAV1953]

@@dknowles60 I believe you're mistaken. The folks in the area of Wixom Lk voted to raise the level. The original owner of the damn(s) had lowered it and the locals wanted it back up.

[@ferdburful6352]

The lawsuits are directed the wrong way. Boyce Hydro was negligent by not upgrading the dams with proper sized emergency spillways.

[@dknowles60]

wrong it was the State of Michigan that mess up Boyce Hydro drain Wixon lake by Fed Gov law, the State of Michigan did not follow Fed Gov Law and force Boyce to refill wixon lake, try to tell the turth for once

@@ferdburful6352 so what, if the lake had been empty like the fed gov Ordered the Dam would have nvever failed

[@davidwhitten3596]

I guess the freshwater mussels were more important than lowering the water level. Ask Dana Nessel where all the freshwater mussels in the lakes are now.... 😂😂

wrong state of michigan made the mess Boyce did what the fed gov told boyce what to do, they drained wixon lake. the state of michigan force boyce to refill the lake
