Update on Extended Drawdown

As of today, Octo­ber 10, 2018, the Extend­ed Draw­down has not been approved by the Hop­kin­ton Con­ser­va­tion Com­mis­sion. The heart of the issue involves a sin­gle home­own­er that has expressed con­cern they could be neg­a­tive­ly impact­ed due to their shal­low well. The LMPA is work­ing with the Con­ser­va­tion Com­mis­sion as well as Depart­ment of Pub­lic Works on a solu­tion but we have been unsuc­cess­ful to date.

We will keep you informed as we con­tin­ue to address the sit­u­a­tion but as of today, lake res­i­dents should plan on nor­mal draw­down lev­els this winter.
