A 3 foot drawdown will commence on or about October 15, 2026. The drawdown will be managed to restore the normal water surface elevation by early April 2027.
Please note: With any drawdown and refill periods, there are risks that the desired level and refill may not be achieved within the timeframes due to weather events and conditions.
HYDRILLA IS RAPIDLY SPREADING THROUGHOUT CT AND HAS BEEN RECENTLY FOUND IN THIS WATERBODY. It grows quickly and forms dense patches. It can displace native plants, impact fish and wildlife habitat, and interfere with boating, paddling and fishing.
