Lake Mohee Repairs Await Funding in Blackford County
From the Blackford County Drainage Board meeting on November 2, 2026
Lake Mohee Dam repairs remain dependent on Blackford County Council funding as the county works to correct the state's designation of the structure, the surveyor reported Nov. 2.
The county has documentation treating the structure as a county drain, but the Indiana Department of Natural Resources website still labels it differently. The surveyor said the county had already presented documentation to the council and was trying to get the DNR designation corrected.
This follows an Oct. 19 commissioners discussion in which the county said it had legal documentation of Lake Mohee Dam ownership but needed state records corrected to reflect it.
No council funding approval or completed DNR correction was announced at the Nov. 2 drainage board meeting. The discussion returned to the same two obstacles: reconciling the state designation and securing county money for repairs.
