Lillinonah Draw-Down Slated

Weather and operational conditions permitting, Lake Lillinonah will have its

water level drawn down by Northeast Utilities in October.

The water level will be lowered approximately seven feet from its normal

elevation starting October 23, according to Robert Gates, production manager

for NU's Connecticut Hydro unit.

The draw-down will allow lakeside residents to do work on their waterfront

properties under the terms of an arrangement between the Connecticut Light and

Power Company and the Lake Lillinonah Authority.

The water level will begin returning to normal October 30.
