A cable hangs in a parabolic shape above a level surface between two poles such that its height above ground is given by the equation \( y = .001 x ^ { 2 } - .124 x + 16 , \) where \( y \) is the cable's height and \( x \) is the horizontal distance from one of the poles. Find the lowest height above the ground the cable will reach.
