April graced Michigan with lots of rain. While that helped with the refill of Sanford, it created challenges at Secord, Smallwood and Edenville. At Secord, the high water levels caused flooding in the primary spillway area. Read the construction newsletter to learn about how the construction teams are progressing despite Mother Nature's efforts to slow us down.

March saw the full spectrum of Michigan spring, including sun, snow and lots of rain. Our crews took advantage of the weather to make progress toward meeting milestones, but high water levels are creating challenging conditions and slowing work, particularly at the Smallwood and Secord sites. Sanford Lake residents will see the water level rise starting on April 15th. Click the button below to learn more about the construction on each dam.

Our crews had small stretches of favorable weather in February that allowed us to catch up to maintain construction schedules.

Our construction newsletter highlights the specific work completed last month and new upcoming milestones for the dams.

The weather over the previous month created challenging working conditions. Extremely cold temperatures and snow slowed concrete pours, but crews continued to work by placing forms and rebar and working on control buildings. Sanford Dam is now considered substantially complete, however Smallwood Dam's estimated substantial completion date has been delayed a month.
