An opposition group against the drawdown of the Forestville Dam filed suit against Door County this week. According to a statement released by the Friends of the Forestville Dam, the lawsuit is related to the temporary drawdown that began in November of 2019. Members of the Friends of the Forestville Dam were opposed to the drawdown, when the Door County Board approved of the measure, citing concerns that the procedure would not be effective. The lawsuit seeks an injunctive relief requiring Door County to cease the drawdown and maintain the water levels traditionally enjoyed and relied upon. The Door County Board approved the drawdown two years ago as a way to improve the overall health and water quality within the Millpond. The temporary lowering of the pond levels, by opening the gate at the Forestville dam on the Ahnapee River, is scheduled to be completed by September 1.
