Each day is bringing a steady improvement in the condition of the dams, and water officials promised that all restrictions will be lifted as as a safe supply of water is on hand. Lakes Fllllnir Slowly The biggest improvement from the recent rains is in Koon, which impounds 2,300,000,000 gallons of water when it is filled to overflowing.
