Current State of the Drawdown

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.

UPDATE ON EXTENDED DRAW DOWN

The Town Weed Com­mit­tee and Con­ser­va­tion Com­mis­sion both had meet­ings on Tues­day, 10/16/18.   A lake res­i­dent has report­ed to both the Con­ser­va­tion Com­mis­sion and DPW that they have lost water dur­ing the extend­ed draw downs and in fact, have been impact­ed even dur­ing the nor­mal draw downs.  There­fore, only the nor­mal draw down will take place this year.

Two cours­es of action that are being pursued:

    —  A motion was made at the Town Weed Com­mit­tee meet­ing for the DPW to con­tact the Board of Health such that an assess­ment of their well can be done.    Once that is com­plete, a mit­i­ga­tion plan can be developed

 

    —  The Town Weed Com­mit­tee will work this win­ter to con­sid­er alter­na­tive method(s) of weed con­trol to be admin­is­tered in the spring giv­en the most recent weed survey.

 

We will keep you informed on any progress made.

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.
