LLA Announcements

The 2013 Fall lake drawdown will be held this year starting on October-30th and will run through to November-17th. The lake level will be dropped down to the 186' elevation line. For boat owners that were not able to remove their boats before the state boat ramp at the Route-133 bridge was closed for renovations, Newtown Parks & Recreation has allowed local boat owners the use of the Newtown town ramp to remove their boats. This ramp is located at the end of Hanover Road in Newtown. The ramp is available only to REMOVE boats that are still in the water and will be open Saturday & Sunday for the last two weekends of October (10/19 and 10/26). Thanks to Amy and the town of Newtown for giving boat owners this option. Please note, if there are any issues or for some reason the gate is locked, please call the Lake Authority phone line at (203) 364-4002.

The Danbury Wastewater Treatment Plant (DWTP) is planning to continue discharging phosphorus at non compliant levels into Limekiln Brook, the Still River and, ultimately, Lake Lillinonah for a new five year period.
