MONROE, CT — FirstLight will perform a drawdown of Lake Zoar at the Stevenson Dam as part of its annual maintenance and inspection activities beginning Oct. 19.
The normal summer operating range of the station is from 103’-100.5’, and the drawdown will target an elevation of 98.5’. The drawdown will lower lake levels to minimum pond levels and aim to return to normal operating elevations on Oct. 28, as river conditions allow.
All homeowners are encouraged to remove structures, boatlifts, and docks from Lake Zoar to prevent ice or flood damage from occurring during the winter months. All work planned to occur along the shoreline requires prior permitting from FirstLight, which can be contacted at firstlightpermits.com.
