Conservancy District Breaks Ground On Critical Dike Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project
News Release
SYRACUSE — Turkey Creek Dam and Dike Conservancy District Board Members gathered Wednesday afternoon, May 3, to celebrate the kickoff of the construction of new dike infrastructure.
This critical structure will prevent further erosion of some water level critical shoreline between Lake Wawasee and Syracuse Lake. The district, which has been planning the design, financing and construction timing of this project for years, is excited to see this project come to fruition.
The project, which is starting just before the 2023 lake season, is anticipated to be completed by July 2023. The project construction site is along the shore west of the Harkless Drive bridge and is accessed by South Koko Drive.
