ANNUAL LAKE DRAWDOWN SET FOR OCT. 15

NEW - 2024-10-02 - The annual lake drawdown will begin on Oct. 15. The dam keepers will be opening the gates to start the annual draw per our Order of Conditions. The drawdown process will continue until Dec. 1. The lake level drops about 3 inches per day depending on rainfall. Draw down is the most natural, effective method for killing weeds. So hopefully there will be a good frost before snowfall to kill the weeds along the shoreline. Should you have issues with your well during the drawdown, please contact the Lunenburg Conservation Commission (LLC). The LLC will notify the LSIC of any reported issues and discuss steps to limit the drawdown, or will more closely monitor the situation if warranted.
