Water work at Claytor Lake

What goes up, must come down.

At least that's the case over the next two-weeks at Claytor Lake in Pulaski County.

Starting Wednesday, Appalachian Power is lowering the water levels so residents can do some work along the shore and protect the lake's mussel population.

The lake will drop three-feet over a number of days and then remain at that level until the 18th when it will slowly refill.
