HARTWELL - Low levels at Lake Hartwell and other waterways have prompted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers consider reducing releases from three dams on the Savannah River. <br> <br> Lake Hartwell is almost 14 feet below full pool. <br> <br> After Labor Day, the corps may reduce the amount of water it releases through the dams at lakes Hartwell, Thurmond and Russell by about eight percent. <br> <br> Hartwell has dropped so low that grass has grown in areas that are under water when the lake is full.<br>
