Tempe Lake Update

The following was reported by Rick Baldwin on www.iamtri.com in the Ironman Arizona 2010 Group Forum:


According to a very nice City of Tempe official who is overseeing the Dam replacement project. Here's the scoop:


The project is officially 10 days ahead of schedule, keep in mind though that more monsoon rain could cause slight delays in the future.

The lake is scheduled to start filling on 8 October. A cofferdam will be built to allow the lake to start refilling (do not need to wait for arrival of the fourth bladder).

It will take 2 weeks to a month to completely refill the lake depending on the flow rate from source water at Roosevelt Lake.

Bladder 4 is scheduled to arrive mid-October, once it arrives, it will be installed and the cofferdam will be removed.
