It’s not too early to start the permitting process for dock and seawall work on Lake Jordan, as Alabama Power Company has announced dates for the first drawdown since 2013.

According to a statement released by Alabama Power last month, Lake Jordan’s pool level will drop up to 4 feet between Sept. 18 and Oct. 4 to allow residents and contractors better access for construction projects, including repairs to existing structures, as well as construction of permitted seawalls and piers.
