Kootenay’s Arrow Lakes dip to water levels usually seen only once a decade
Castlegar resident John Russell says he can only remember a few times when the water has been this low out at Scotties Marina on the Lower Arrow Lake where he has kept a boat for many years.
Marina employee Rhonda McLean says each winter one row of docks has to be emptied, but this year the boats in a second row had to be removed as well. BC Hydro expects the reservoir to draft to a minimum of 423.6 metres by Jan. 27. That is just at the limit of where the low water level would begin to affect the Needles Ferry at Fauquier.
“Lower-than-average levels are associated with Columbia River Treaty obligations during ‘dry years,’” explained BC Hydro in a special advisory issued on Jan. 4.
