Water Level Committee. This committee works year-round with the Thruway Authority to control the water level of the lake, as directed by the membership. In the fall, the lake is lowered to minimize ice damage and to allow owners to perform shoreline maintenance. In the spring, the lake level is brought back to its crest elevation. As if dealing with agencies were not difficult enough, having to deal with nature makes maintaining the water level even more challenging.
