Deep drawdowns might be ending for Candlewood Lake

A local official is already staring to think about next winter and what can be done to protect the health of Candlewood Lake during the off season.  New Fairfield First Selectman John Hodge says in the short term there are a few things that need to be focused on, including how to get rid of milfoil.  He says this winter was probably the last deep draw down for Candlewood Lake because of environmental reasons.

 

Hodge says scientists are looking into whether the deep drawdown to take care of milfoil is leading to quality and clarity issues.  The drawdown exposes the milfoil to cold temperatures killing it.

 

He notes that if it is, alternatives to getting rid of milfoil have to be found.
