On the Droughtwatch
After an historic drought that saw Lake Lanier drop to a record low, the main supply of drinking water to metro-Atlanta is now full again.
The massive reservoir on Wednesday peaked above "full pool" of 1,071 feet above sea level on Wednesday for the first time since September 2005.
The downpours we've received in recent days have caused problems with our trees and roadways, but metro Atlanta water managers are loving it.
Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue is urging his counterparts to open tri-state water negotiations up to the public.
Water use in north Georgia jumped slightly after the state relaxed strict outdoor water restrictions that stemmed from the historic drought.
