The Ossipee Lake water level roller coaster ride continues, and Steve at the State Dam Bureau plus the Ossipee Lake Dam authority are planning and doing all they can to slow down the ride to 407.25 feet above sea level for the next three months.
My last report on 4/07/05 gave an estimated lake level of 409' above sea level. Subsequently I received the official Broad Bay reading of 409.5' from Chuck Depew. This was 4 days after the last rain.
Owners and managers of Ossipee Lake’s boat ramps last weekend took the first steps in an ambitious multi-year effort to prevent milfoil from entering or leaving the lake on boats and trailers at more than 30 access points.
Conditions are about the same as Tuesday except the level is dropping at about the same rate as the slow leak in my boat trailer tire.
Just finished a conversation with Chuck DePew, who has an accurate reference point at 407'.
