As of 12:00 p.m. today (12/18/18) the lake level gauge at Bridgeport is reading incorrectly. Since that time the levels have been dropping at a rapid rate and are incorrect. The USGS has been notified and will be out to service the gauge tomorrow morning. Until that time the lake is expected to continue to slowly rise. Projected elevations prepared by reservoir monitoring staff are listed below.
