Play

This is the WFHB Local News for Wednesday, August 30th, 2023.

Later in the program, WFHB News continues its coverage on Lake Monroe – how healthy is it and how long will it survive? – on Deep Dive: WFHB and Limestone Post Investigate. More in today’s feature report.

Also coming up in the next half hour, Survey Says – Scam – on Better Beware – your weekly consumer-watchdog segment produced by Richard Fish. More following today’s feature.

Feature Report:

The primary reason Salt Creek was dammed in the 1960s was to control floodwaters downstream. While the Monroe Lake Control Tower (above) regulates water flow from the
reservoir through the dam, the rest of Lake Monroe has become a valuable resource for drinking water, recreation, industry, wild habitat, and other uses well beyond its
watershed.

This is Deep Dive: WFHB and Limestone Post Investigate where we look into issues regarding Health, Housing, and the Environment that directly impact residents of Monroe County. We are looking into the Lake Monroe Watershed and the water quality. This week, we look into pollutants in the watershed. 

Tune in next week to hear more about Lake Monroe – how healthy is it and how long will it survive?
