Communities and property owners in Door and Kewaunee counties may notice Lake Michigan water levels easing in the coming months.  However, it's only expected to be a slight seasonal reprieve.  The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Detroit says Lake Michigan's water levels are expected to peak this month and recede through fall and winter.  The average lake levels, however, will remain at record highs.   Deanna Apps, Physical Scientist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Detroit District, says the receding water levels are a good opportunity for communities and lakeshore property owners to take additional flooding and erosion prevention measures.

Apps says the Corps of Engineers can help lakeshore communities and property owners find the best erosion and flooding control options. Those can be found at the Corps website and doing a search for the document entitled “Living on the Coast."
