Resident Notice of Current Lake Water Level
Posted 7/3/23
Hello to all residents,
The Board of Commissioners is aware of the current level of Gould Pond due to the recent rain events. Boards had been removed from the Dam prior to and during this most recent rain event that appears to have dropped about 1-2 inches over a 24-hour period. The current lake level makes it unsafe to attempt to pull out any additional boards.
Depending on incoming water volume to Gould Pond from run offs and from Farrer Marsh. It will take a rough estimate of 12-24 hours to drop the lake level by about 4 inches. Depending on this week’s pending rain volume the lowering of the lake may take longer. We continue to monitor the area of the dam / lake outlet.
Thank you for your understanding in advance, ELVD Board Of Commissioners
