And after a meeting with B.C. Hydro Wednesday, Local MLA Ed Conroy doesn’t think things are going to change. “I wish I could say I was more opti- mistic than I am,” Conroy said. “It’s go- ing to be a long way to the beach this summer.” Editorial, page 6 The reservoir’s water is currently flowing into the US. where it is gener- ating power. From 1968 to 1988, the June 3 aver- age water level at Arrow Lake is 1431 feet. B.C. Hydro expects that level to bot- tom out at 1407 feet by June 30 and fill to average again by July 31. But Greg Drais, reservoir co-ordina- tor with the Bonneville Power Adminis- tration in Vancouver, Washington, sug- gests it may be optimistic to think water levels will rise again so quickly. “With normal precipitation the sys- tem will refill by spring of 1993,” Drais said. “But there isn’t any one reservoir that is suffering more than another.” He added that there are four large reservoirs on the U.S. side of the Co- lumbia system affected by drought. “T hope people up there don’t think we have an abundance of water, because that just isn’t true. In fact, from what I hear things are worse at this end.” Drais also said that because of the Co- lumbia River Treaty of 1964 the U.S. is entitled to the water they are receiving. “The reality of this is our govern- ments entered into a treaty so that both governments and their people would benefit from the situation.” But Conroy feels Canadian benefits are not that great. “T fully believe the (Columbia River) treaty was a bad deal,” he said. “The Americans don’t have to send in the Marines.
