About 50 boat owners were warned that they needed to remove their vessels from Summersville Lake by Aug. 8 to avoid being beached as the water level was about one foot below normal. The low water was due to the absence of rain and the requirement to release water from the dam downriver, according to the Army Corps of Engineers. Boat owners were frustrated.
