Lakes are FULL of Water!

Well as you might have realized if you live in the Lake Keowee area IT IS RAINING and the lakes in our neck of the woods are full! I personally have not seen the lakes this full in the past six years. Duke Energy considers full pond 100 feet but they try to maintain the lake levels at 99 feet elevation for purposes of flood control.


These numbers can be a little confusing. Duke uses a 100 foot scale to measure the levels. Actually Lake Keowee at full pond is 800 feet elevation which would mean that they maintain the lake at 799 feet elevation. I am sure you get the idea.

The Lake Level as of today are below:
Lake Jocassee 99.4
Lake Keowee 99.1

In the history of the lake Duke released water downstream to Lake Hartwell only once that I recall and did not generate power. Then the lake level was 100.5 feet. (800 feet 6" Elevation)


Anyway.... they are full and beautiful! An excellent time to buy that perfect lot or home you have been looking for on the water!
