Freeman Low Water Level Warning
Shafer & Freeman Lakes Environmental Conservation Corporation (SFLECC) Issues low water warning
SFLECC Press Release - August 28, 2020Lake Freeman is under a low water flow warning! If you are boating on the lake be aware of submerged objects that may be dangerously close to the surface of the water. If you have watercraft docked on Lake Freeman be aware of the lower water levels and take appropriate action to protect your watercraft. Low lake levels may make many docks and lifts unusable.
At this time, the SFLECC is in the middle of a lengthy battle in the Federal Court system, with no new information as of now. Our actions, if successful, will benefit you and your family in some way, whether you are an SFLECC licensee, other Lake property owner, Twin Lakes area resident, business owner, or occasional visitor.
Unfortunately, we do not see the current situation improving until there is significant rainfall in our watershed.
