The Grand River Dam Authority is announcing that a temporary drawdown of the W.R. Holway Reservoir is set to begin on Monday, September 27. The reservoir, also known as Chimney Rock Reservoir, is part of GRDA’s Salina Pumped Storage Project (SPSP) hydroelectric facility, located along the Salina Creek arm of Lake Hudson.
GRDA plans to lower the reservoir approximately 20 feet below its normal maximum level to complete some maintenance projects at the facility. The drawdown is expected to last three months with the reservoir’s elevation returning to normal in mid-January.
