Holiday Shores
System Information
System Description
Alternating pumps on two adjacent intakes on Holiday Lake convey water to the treatment plant, which currently can process just 0.38 mgd. This limited capacity constrains the community's available water supply. The lake's capacity is difficult to determine because unknown quantities constantly are being dredged.

Developments since 1989:
Henry, Meisenheimer, and Gende, Inc. began conducting a water supply assessment in 2007 due to the community's population growth potential (700 lots currently available). The system needs a temporary water source to repair the drains on the lake's dam. Pre-drought drawdown exacerbated 2005 drought impacts on boating, but lake levels have recovered.
