Mr. Hite recommended that the Village construct an overflow from Duck Lake
elevation 914. at the easterly end of the lake. He reported the present
( elevation of the top of the ice to be 914.8. He said that if the
recommended overflow was not zo be constructed, the lake would in all
probability rise 8 to 12 inches during the spring melt. He said he felt
that it was important that the Village take whatever steps were necessary
to see that a rise of the magnitude did not occur. He indicated that he
would advise the railroad through whose property the overflow would run,
the State Water Resources Board, and the adjoining property owners of the
proposed action and the reasons for it. He emphasised that the proposed
temporary establishment of the 914. foot elevation overflow was not intended
to be a permanent solution to the Duck Lake drainage area water problem.
The permanent solution to this problem would require considerably more
engineering design and contact with affected parties.
