The water level of Lake Housatonic will be lowered on Monday, Oct. 17 beginning at 10 p.m., so that the Derby Dam can be inspected and maintained.
Lowering the water level of Lake Housatonic is contingent upon river flow conditions, as well as FirstLight Power Resources’ need to generate electricity at its upstream dams at the time of the drawdown.
The water level will start to return to normal no later than Sunday, Oct. 23 at 10 p.m., depending on work progress.
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.
