Due to below average rainfall across the state for the month of September and current hydrological conditions, the Lake Martin Fall Extension will not be implemented this year.

Due to lack of rain, Alabama Power Company has made the decision to lower Lake Martin's water level.

This decision comes after weeks of closely monitoring conditions, including daily monitoring throughout the month of September. Outlined in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission license, four key conditions must be met for the extension to be implemented. These include factors such as precipitation, current lake levels, river and stream flows and operational conditions.
