Lake Area Residents:

After a beau­ti­ful sum­mer, it is now approach­ing the time that the annu­al draw down of the lake begins. The tim­ing of the draw down is man­dat­ed by a per­mit received from the Hop­kin­ton Con­ser­va­tion Com­mis­sion and must begin no ear­li­er than Sep­tem­ber 15th and no lat­er than Octo­ber 1st. The exact date can vary from year to year based upon the lev­el of the lake com­ing out of the sum­mer. This year it is antic­i­pat­ed that the draw down will com­mence some time dur­ing the week of Sep­tem­ber 15th.

**********IMPORTANT**********

We have per­mis­sion to con­duct a more exten­sive draw down of the lake, 7–8 feet this year, in an effort to con­trol the inva­sive weeds which were a prob­lem this sum­mer. The nor­mal draw down is a lake lev­el reduc­tion of 4–5 feet. Please be aware of the draw down process and arrange for the removal of boats and docks accord­ing­ly.

Have a great autumn,

The Offi­cers and Exec­u­tive Board
