The water level at Herrington Lake in central Kentucky is expected to rise next week. Kentucky Utilities drew down the lake five feet lower than the typical winter pool level to accommodate work on the outer layer of Dix Dam. KU Spokesman Daniel Lowry said the work to place a protective coating on the dam was scheduled to start after the summer boating season.
“And we held off as long as we could to try to make as little impact to the boaters and to the lake as possible. We wanted to make as little impact to the lake as possible to folks who use it,” said Lowry.
