Lake officials to discuss low-water plan tonight

The meeting is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Heritage Park Senior Facility, 300 S. Racetrack Road, Henderson.
Park officials have been developing a plan to address operational needs for Lake Mead in the event that water elevation decreases below 1,050 feet.
