The general manager of the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority, Glenn Page, says the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has decided to reduce the flow of water out of Lake Allatoona by 40-50 percent.
Page says the decision the Corps made Friday is an effort to make sure Allatoona remains a lake.
He says officials are committed to making sure the authority can provide water for customers in 2008.
A spokeswoman for the Corps' office in Mobile, Alabama, confirms the reduction but would not say whether the Corps will do the same for Lake Lanier.
