Anyone who drives over Hartwell Lake knows that the water level is going down, not coming back up.

Experts say if meaningful rainfall does not occur soon, the lake level could fall below the only functioning intake for the Anderson water district by as early as next fall…

Steve Wilson, manager of the Anderson Regional Joint Water System, said water cannot be taken from Hartwell Lake through the only remaining submerged intake pipe for the water system if water levels recede to 620 feet. At the current rate of water usage, that low level would occur late next summer or early fall, Wilson said.
