    The Bagnell Dam is over 90 years old and has been the topic of conversation around the lake area. Ameren spent approximately $52 Million in 2017 when the structure underwent an extensive reinforcement project to replace old concrete from the dam's face. They also installed structural tension rods into the dam, anchored into the bedrock. The new project to repair the bridge on top of the dam is costing MoDot approximately $1.6 million. The bridge is scheduled to open this spring with a new 18-ton weight limit to help extend the life expectancy of the bridge attached to the dam.

    Bring in the Food Trucks
    Food trucks are likely coming to the City of Lake Ozark! I'm personally hoping someone brings the Taco Truck, yum! The Lake Ozark Board of Aldermen approved the first reading of an ordinance on June 8 that allows food trucks within the city limits. Due to C-1 district restrictions, the food trucks would not be allowed on the strip but could sell within the city limits.

    Record lows of -18 in February caused a major power demand in Missouri. The Bagnell Dam is almost at the maximum generation level. The dam's eight generators can discharge between 40,000 and 50,000 cubic feet per second. That adds up to 215 megawatts to the grid. Ameren told customers they should not expect any planned outages but asked residents to conserve their electricity.

    Five ways Ameren suggested to help are: set your thermostat at 68 degrees, turn your thermostat down at night while sleeping, and unplug nonessential appliances. Avoid using large appliances such as ovens and dryers; and with electric hot water heaters, reduce the temperature setting. Every little bit we can do during bitter winter temperatures helps!
