For the first time in more than a decade, Central Arkansas Water intentionally lowered water levels at Lake Maumelle to give construction crews enough dry space to work on the earthen dam. The utility is spending $338,248 to repair and replace a 425-foot section of the 2,300-foot long structure a year after noticing cracks on the dam’s exterior.
