Lake Burley Griffin level to be dropped for maintenance At the NCA Lake Users Group meeting this morning the lake custodian announced a need to do maintenance work on a wharf that could only be done with a lower water level. Some time in the next 4 weeks the NCA is going to wait for a rain forecast and then drain 20cm from the lake. The maintenance work will be accomplished quickly and if the weather forecast is correct the lower water level should only be with us for a couple of days. NCA will advise when they propose to take this action, we thus should have a few days warning of the drop. The NCA warning will be circulated on receipt.
