2024 Lake Lillinonah Drawdown

by LLA Board on 10/21/24

Beginning on October 28, 2024, FirstLight will conduct a drawdown of Lake Lillinonah at the Shepaug Dam to conduct its annual maintenance and inspection activities. The normal summer operating range of the station is from 200’-195.5’, and the drawdown will target an elevation of 190.5’. The drawdown will lower lake levels to minimum pond levels and aim to return to normal operating elevations on November 6, 2024, as river conditions allow. All homeowners are encouraged to remove structures, boatlifts, and docks from Lake Lillinonah 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, who can be contacted at www.firstlightpermits.com.
