The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District was encouraging boat owners to plan to remove boats from Atwood Lake due to falling water levels due to drought. The lake was about a foot and a half below normal. Water sales at Atwood were reduced 75 percent just over two weeks ago, and then 100 percent as of last week.
“People that have been here a lot longer than I have said this is very close or akin to the 1988 drought,” stated the MWCD director.
