Low water levels at upper portion of Lewiston Falls due to vandalism

SUN JOURNAL • November 18, 2023

Rubber bladders designed to alter water levels at the Lewiston Falls dam were vandalized in early October. Brookfield White Pine Hydro is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the vandals. Brookfield has since increased security by adding razor wire, metal mesh, additional cameras and additional security patrols. A temporary flashboard system has since been installed which will keep levels at about 6 inches lower than normal.
