UPDATE: Lake Housatonic To Be Lowered

FILE

After careful consideration, due to the amount of rain this area is scheduled to receive during the next several days, it is necessary to postpone the lowering of the Lake Housatonic water level and planned maintenance to the Derby Dam. 

Originally scheduled for Friday, May 6 – Sunday, May 8, we need to utilize the alternate date of Friday, May 20 – Sunday, May 22 because of the upcoming weather conditions. 

The lowering of the water will begin on Friday, May 20 at 10:00 PM and begin returning no later than Sunday, May 22 at 10:00 pm.

McCallum Enterprises of Stratford owns and operates the Derby Dam Hydroelectric Project located on the Housatonic River. For updates regarding this scheduled drawdown, please call our office at (203) 386‑1745.
