The <br />existing ordinance computed elevation of water below <br />Lake Orange Spillway which did not include the "dead <br />pool (water that can not be drained from lake). The <br />new computations from the State include the dead pool <br />and account for the flashboard, which raises Lake <br />Orange one foot. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): <br />Amend Water Conservation Ordinance to reflect changes <br />in Tables I and II which include dead pool and based <br />on spillway at 614 feet (Attachment II). Amend <br />ordinance to reflect increased water capacity based <br />on spillway at 615 feet (Attachment III) effective <br />January 1, 1988. <br />
