Notice of Highland Lake Lowering

The lake will be lowered the week after Labor Day. We are planning to dredge the Sand Creek and Brasher Creek areas, as well as work areas by the dam. If you would like to work on your dock or seawall during this time, please be sure to get your request in to the Town before August, so that you can have your permit in place when the water is lowered
