Lake levels in the Cobbossee Watershed are in a normal range for July. Lack of rainfall is causing unavoidable declines in lake levels. Today's weekly drought report indicates the watershed is still designated as "abnormally dry", but areas immediately east are now in "moderate drought". See the watershed precipitation and lake level details in the attached reports.

Summer is here and as the Cobbossee Watershed District’s June water levels report shows, there is adequate water in the lakes. However, June precipitation has been below average and the months ahead will be a time of high evaporation. Lake levels normally decline as summer progresses unless rainfall is excessive. Questions?

It was an aptly pleasant day yesterday for CWD to monitor the water quality of Pleasant Pond. The Secchi disk transparency (water clarity) of Upper Pleasant (shown in photo) was 3.0 meters, or 10 feet. We measured 3.3 m in the main body of Pleasant Pond. The water temperature below the surface was 66 degrees F.

Lakes in the Cobbossee Watershed are in various stages of re-filling from winter low levels as described in this April 15th report. Several lakes are still rising and levels on those will continue to change. For example, as of this morning Pleasant Pond is 6 inches higher than it was two days ago when the report was prepared.
