Olalla Reservoir to temporarily close for maintenance work

Georgia-Pacific will temporarily close Olalla Reservoir to the public starting Monday, Aug. 19. GP will be conducting maintenance work at the reservoir during this time, and the closure will help maintain public and worker safety. Depending on work progress, GP will re-open the reservoir on Saturday, Aug. 24.

The entrance to the company-owned reservoir northeast of Toledo will be locked and barricaded, with signs posted saying the reservoir is closed. GP security contractors will patrol the reservoir, and trespassers will be reported to law enforcement.

Although the reservoir was created to provide water necessary for production at the Toledo mill, Georgia-Pacific allows the public to use it for daytime recreation. Visitors use the site at their own risk and must comply with posted rules, including no hunting, littering or gas-powered boat motors.
