Subject:
Duke Power Company's Disregard for the Citizens of Pickens and Oconee County
Dear Ms. MacFarlane,
We are writing in regards to the Duke Power Company Relicensing Agreement specifically in reference to the lowering of Lake Keowee water levels from 795' to 790'.
We purchased our waterfront lake lot at Lake Keowee in The Reserve community in February 2012. We sold our waterfront property in Reynolds Plantation on Lake Oconee to relocate to Lake Keowee. The primary reason we chose Lake Keowee, over many other lakes, is that we were told by everyone on the lake that the water level would never be lower than it was when we purchased. The water levels were always consistent on Lake Oconee as well.
We feel that Duke Power withheld this important information from all property owners on Lake Keowee for far too long. Duke Power has been working on the request to lower the lake water levels for three years and they did not inform those affected, the public, until October 2012. It appears that Duke Power deliberately delayed disclosure of their intention to lower lake water levels that have been historically consistent.
In our case, if the water levels go down an additional five feet, our waterfront lake lot will be drastically changed. You will be able to walk on land in front of our shoreline from our dock to our neighbor's dock. In front of our waterfront lot, muddy land be will exposed approximately 300' across and 200' out from our shoreline.
We believe Duke Power should be held liable for the drastic. adjustment in our property value that will undoubtedly occur. We would consider any and all avenues to remedy this injustice Duke Power has subjected us to.
Pickens and Oconee County thrive due to the taxes paid by property owners on Lake Keowee. By Duke Power's own admission, at least 50% of the property owners' docks will be on land at 790'. In the event the 790' water level is approved, Lake Keowee will experience a recession of sorts. Property owners will sell off cheap when their docks and boats are inaccessible and sitting in mud holes in front of their shoreline.
Please consider the adverse effect that the lowering of Lake Keowee water levels will have on Pickens County and act accordingly.
