5. Draw down, issue with Spin­del Island

The home on the Island lost most water ser­vice. Mal­colm respond­ed to inquiries from the Hop­kin­ton Cons. Comm. and DPW. The Spin­dels had nev­er indi­cat­ed they lost water dur­ing the 1st extend­ed draw down. It appears that the well they draw water from is fed by water infil­trat­ing from the lake, so they are direct­ly affect­ed by the lake lev­el. The sys­tem has nev­er been inspect­ed, they will not allow it, so no one real­ly knows what is there. At the time of the Town inquiries the lake had risen to approx­i­mate­ly nor­mal win­ter draw down lev­els. No fur­ther action was required.
