Alex City Water System Extends Intakes Deeper in Lake Martin

October 30th, 2007 Lake Martin, Lake Martin Area Info, Lake Martin Living, Water Level John

The drought this year has threatened to lower the level of Lake Martin to below where the intake valves for the water works of the City of Alex City are located. The City has had to extend their intake valves to deeper water.  This video was filmed 10–26–2007 on the Tallapoosa River just above River North Marina.   Click on the “play” symbol in the middle of the video below to watch it.
