With the ice finally giving way to spring, work is beginning on the much-anticipated new Williams Lake Dam.

This year will see the completion of a new Williams Lake dam that will keep the lake’s water at historic levels. Because the new dam will keep water levels high, it is now possible to breed eels in the lake – and that is exactly what is planned.

Winter is coming to a close which means work will resume soon on replacing the Williams Lake Dam.

Colleen Jone’s 2020 CBC item was shared widely on social media and drew much needed attention to the fallling levels at Williams Lake.
