TVA Reducing Dam Water Output

By David Schmoll

Missionary Ridge, TN – The Tennessee Valley Authority says their decision to reduce water output from Kentucky Dam will increase the region's river and lake levels. Kentucky Lake is expected to reach up to 368 feet, two feet short of the significant flooding level. Calloway County Emergency Management Director Bill Call says the reduced water output and today's heavy rains mean additional flooding on the roads is likely. Call says residents living near the rivers and lakes need to be aware of the driving hazards.
