The Grand River Dam Authority's W.R. Holway Reservoir. The reservoir is part of GRDA's Salina Pumped Storage Project, along the Saline Creek arm of Lake Hudson.
In order to complete a maintenance project at its Salina Pumped Storage Project, the Grand River Dam Authority is announcing that a temporary drawdown of the W.R. Holway Reservoir is underway. The reservoir, also known as Chimney Rock Reservoir, is part of GRDA's Salina Pumped Storage Project (SPSP) hydroelectric facility, located along the Salina Creek arm of Lake Hudson.
Over the next three weeks, GRDA plans to lower the reservoir 42 feet below its normal maximum level to complete the maintenance work. Although the reservoir's elevation will be subject to minor fluctuations during the project, the drawdown is expected to last until May 2026.
