Lake Lowering

Each Fall, typically in October, Jaffrey DPW lowers the water level of Contoocook Lake for the winter months. Look for an Announcement on the Home Page when a specific date is scheduled.

This is a good time for all lakefront residents to clean up their beaches from debris, leaves, and other vegetation that could affect water quality. Remember, please avoid blowing leaves into the lake itself, or into surrounding ditches and stream beds.
