The Hudson River Black River Regulating District is responsible for managing the water levels of the Sixth Lake Reservoir and Seventh Lake in Albany, NY. They are proposing an early start to the annual drawdown of the reservoir, allowing residents and property owners the opportunity to complete repair or construction work on waterfront structures, beaches, docks, and the shoreline.
The drawdown will begin on September 16, 2013, about three weeks earlier than previous years, and will aim to reach the long-term historic average elevation by mid-October. The operation of the reservoir is subject to change based on flood protection needs, augmentation requirements, and weather conditions.
