DAM OPERATIONS HAPPENING AT SECOND AND THIRD DEPOT LAKES IN THE NAPANEE REGION WATERSHED
Recent rain and snowmelt throughout the northern regions of the Napanee River Watershed have caused higher than seasonally normal water levels on the Depot Lakes.
In an effort to ensure adequate flood storage for the spring, Quinte Conservation is operating dams on Second and Third Depot Lakes in order to draw down reservoir levels.
Lake levels are currently supporting ice coverage. As levels start to lower in the reservoir, the stability of the ice coverage will decline. Downstream lakes will see an increase in water levels which may affect the strength of the ice.
Quinte Conservation would like to remind the public to always exercise caution when on or around water and to stay away from shorelines and off ice.
