Hide-A-Way Lake faired very well with the major flash flood weather that occurred yesterday. It has been over 20 years since the community received this amount of water in such a short time. Culverts and ditches can only handle so much water when you receive so much rain in such a short period of time. Thank you to the property owners and HAWL staff for their work to keep the community safe. We have more rain tonight until tomorrow morning with this storm. Please monitor the weather. The lake valves are open. Sand and empty sandbags are available at the firehouse; bring your shovel. Garbage collection is currently taking place. Please remove your carts from the roadway by this evening. Make sure that your driveway culverts are open and not blocked. The back spillway is currently open along with all other roadways in the community. Do not drive through water crossing the roadway; always choose safety. All roadway culverts are being checked for safety concerns. We currently know of six side washouts that occurred yesterday. All washouts have been marked for repair. Repairs are being planned with the Maintenance Department. The lake has plenty of debris and is at a high level. The entire lake is no wake until it returns to normal level. If you have a boat in the water, ensure that it is properly secured. Please check on your neighbors and work together as great neighbors make great communities.
