Lake Water Level ?

Kerk · 06-12-2013, 07:48 AM

With all the rain we have had I am wondering what the lake level is? I am away and hope my dock is still there!

You can get your own dam levels at this link http://www2.des.state.nh.us/rti_data/wein3_TABLE.HTML

As of 5AM today, the lake was 504.42 feet above sea level. 4.32 is full lake.

This Bizer chart shows some level history and we're on the high side but not even close to the flood control errors made in 1998, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2010.

Let's hope the rainy season is over

You can get your own dam levels! I couldn't read the rest after I read that.

Just funny to me.

Given the significant rain events we have had they have done a great job at balancing the lake level. Only 1 inch over full is quite manageable and will be down in a few days given no significant additional rain.

Whom ever is operating and control the flow of the water shed is doing a far superior job, then has been done in the past. And it isn't an easy job, as you have to balance the proper flow, and get the levels down stream acceptable...

I have also noted over the past couple of years, the dam operator is quite comfortable allowing the lake to stay fuller, at the beginning of the season...
