Thursday was a red-letter day for Hall County water. A 21-month drought ended and Lake Lanier hit 1,064 feet above sea level, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers restarting its dock review process. “If people call (today), we’ll start doing dock upgrades, and starting Monday ... we’ll start making phone calls to those people on our lottery list and scheduling appointments for those,” said Ernest Noe, chief ranger at the Buford Dam office.
Trend is upward for Lanier
