@@DominicciSkycam I guess he's using gold instead of wood

TheOtherWhiteBread0 Here in Michigan 5grand is a lot to spend on a dock. A lot of the docks are pre made modular sections that are removed every fall because otherwise they would be ripped apart and sent downstream when the ice breaks up or during spring flooding. This isn't Florida. Aluminum docks with wheels are popular on wixom. Easy in, easy out. Same with boat lifts.

Yep I use to put docks in the Michigan lakes. Put in spring take out fall.

Better to have a useless dock than a useless dock and boat!!!

man made lake. dam was made and water kept high for their boats

Nah they just expanded their access

No. The same taxpayer money will go into rebuilding it so the same affluent owners can move back in and demand those same taxpayers to stay the hell off their property. Unless you are "in" with lake property owners then you aren't welcome there, period.

Craiglist 034334Erd454 wtf were you expecting? “The public is welcome to picnic and launch their boats anytime year round at the Steve Jones home at 123 Lake St.”?

2A Supporter Nah this exact thing happened to Lake Delton in Wisconsin Dells around 2008. The dam failed and the entire man made lake drained into the river. It was a lot more spectacular than this, I remember 4 big houses collapsing and being sucked into the raging waters on video I’m sure it’s here in KZfaq. A few years later it’s back as it was and now there’s a nice historical plaque at the spot where it failed.

The people around the lake petitioned to keep the water level up over the advice of the professionals. The owners of the dam knew the math behind it and are at fault.

XD

LMAO

Yup lol and they lost their expensive boats also

Wow, very astute observation.

Usually on waterfront you own to the water edge or high water mark. With the water back to a river, I wonder if they can claim that land now?

No, they warned Lee Mueller, the private owner of these dams, not "county officials". Mueller, has been warned about these dams for years, and actually wanted the lakefront property owners to pay for the near 100 grand repair(back in 2011, it was probably far more than that now since he neglected them for so long) to the dam, even though he owns them, and was making money hand over fist from them.

They warned Boyce Hydro LLC. A private company that owned these dams. Get your facts straight.

@Donald Kasper that's not how dams work, the lake would be deeper, yes, but its normal level would be at the same spot the shallow version had, meaning - increase inflow would still make it run over the dam, they need to increase the bank height (and/or more flood area) if you want more capacity to handle more than usual inflow

@Preston Hanson All the money that should have been spent in America has been paid to Lockheed Martin etc and then offshored. Same in the UK, the roads are appalling, cheap patches on top of cheap patches - we welcome the water board digging anywhere as their's are the best patches.

Good place for a great golf ⛳ course 👍.

Most deeds probably read that the lot boundary runs to the lake's edge. So, all those lakefront lots have now tripled in size. A weird exception to such a setup is the boundary between Maryland & Virginia, along the Potomac, where the Maryland boundary is the _Virginia_ shoreline.

Specifically, incompetence among the dam owner (Boyce Hydro) for failing to make improvements to the dam, and the State of Michigan for lax regulations. Boyce Hydro and the State are already in a legal blame game over who is at fault.

@@souvikrc4499 Boyce is guilty of under investment but they tried to lower the water level to improve the safety margin and the state (AG Dana Nessel) made them raise it back up. The lowering had killed some freshwater mussels and the state took Boyce to court over it in April of this year.

The problem of the day is the world gives glory to everything else...and has forsaken God...His word says this of those and the nations who have forsaken God. Psalm 9:17 The wicked will return to hell, Even all the nations who forget God. Isaiah 45:6-7 6 That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun That there is no one besides Me.
