Lake Erie Just Misses High Water Record

The Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority says Lake Erie did not break a record for high water levels this year.

Jason Wintermute, water management supervisor, says Lake Erie was very close to a 30-year-old record but didn't quite make it.

Wintermute says now evaporation starts to kick in and continues throughout the summer, making it literally impossible to break the record of around 175 m set in April of 1986.
