We have received sev­er­al ques­tions about why the lake lev­els have remained so high giv­en the usu­al draw­down.    We con­firmed with the Town of Hop­kin­ton that the gate at the dam is opened ful­ly but due to the exces­sive rain we have not been able to get the lake low­er.   Hope­ful­ly the rains will sub­side such that the lake lev­el can be low­ered per pro­to­col, but there is noth­ing more we can do at this point.
