Town of Highlands Utility Work

 

There is a lot of action at the Club Lake dam today because the Town of Highlands electric crew is removing the power poles that service the pumphouse.  As I talked about a few times, those two poles are in the way of the phase II dam work that will start in December.  Starting next week, the pumphouse will be powered by a new underground electric line that we installed this past summer.  

Regarding the dam project, expect to see the lake level start dropping during the first or second week of December.  It will likely take a couple days to drain the lake completely.  There will be no water in the lake for the entirety of the winter.  I expect the lake to be filled back to capacity by the second or third week of March 2027.
