A RESOLUTION URGING FRUGAL MANAGEMENT OF THE EXISTING
WATER RESOURCES IN BEAVER RESERVOIR.
WHEREAS, the Fayetteville Board of Directors is concerned
over the worsening drouth and the fact that Beaver Reservoir
has not refilled to optimum operational water levels and remains
at an extremely low level which affects the ability of Beaver
Reservoir to meet its authorized human needs uses; and
WHEREAS, said Board is fully aware that the reasons for
the extensive lowering were the drouth which started in 1976,
and the heavy generating schedule during that year for
hydroelectric power using water from Beaver Reservoir; and
WHEREAS, the aforesaid drouth is worsening and the present
time is a period of the year when historically any extensive
runoff cannot be expected; and
WHEREAS, the Fayetteville Board of Directors feelsit must
express its concern over the management of water levels in
Beaver Reservoir during the balance of 1977 and into 1978,
because if the water level should be extensively lowered by
heavy generation as in 1976 and early 1977, such expression of
concern would be too late; and
WHEREAS, said Board believes that any return to the heavy
power generation schedule such as was experienced in 1976 and
1977 with the lake at its present lowered level will pose a threat
to the quantity and quality of the only source of municipal and
industrial water for over 100,000 citizens and industries which
are served by water from Beaver Reservoir; and
WHEREAS, said Board desires to urge frugal management of
the existing water resources in Beaver Reservoir to insure
protection of the human needs of this area until such time as
the drouth is fully broken and water levels return to normal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS:
That short term relief from the possibility of water shortage
should be provided by limiting the generation of electricity
until Beaver Reservoir refills to normal operating levels.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that work be started on a permanent
solution which will require funding of a re-evaluation of the
operating procedures giving adequate weight to the water supply,
recreational uses, and other uses which will limit the changes
in water levels to a more realistic range.
