Secord and Edenville Substantial Completion and Lake Refill Update 7/16/2026 Secord: Secord Dam is on track for substantial completion in September 2026. Because we will have low flow rates and are unable to refill October 1-April 15, we will wait to refill Secord Lake until April 2027. Edenville: Edenville Dam is on track to be substantially completed by September 2027. Wixom Lake will be partially refilled in stages as construction phases are completed.
