Update - Feb. 4 - 'Dam, Spillway, Lake' FAQ updated.
Update - Feb. 2 As citizens know, the City has been working on evaluating the storm damage to Lake Berkeley dam and has involved FEMA at every stage of the process, including detailed meetings with the Georgia Safe Dams Program. At a meeting with FEMA and Georgia Safe Dams Program on January 15, FEMA expressed support for our approach to repair the dam, and we were led to believe that they would share the cost of the repair strategy that our engineers outlined. Once the City transmitted the Engineer’s cost estimate to them they decided today that they would not pay for some of the repairs.
The Mayor has been in contact with both of our US Senators and our US Congressman to ask for intervention with FEMA. Citizens who would like to contact their federal legislators may do so as follows:
