The lake, hard hit by the drought, reached "full pool" of 1071 feet above sea level this past Wednesday for the first time since September, 2005. The level actually surpassed full pool and was recorded at 1071.01 feet, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
At its low point on Dec. 28, 2007, the level of Lanier, metro Atlanta's largest source of drinking water, dropped to 1,050.79 feet, more than 20 feet below full pool.
Experts at the National Weather Service had predicted that Lanier would reach full pool by November, but recent heavy rain has boosted the lake's level by more than a foot.
