The Housatonic River at Bulls Bridge Development will have an earlier drawdown than anticipated in order for emergency repairs to be made.  FirstLight Power has filed a notice with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that river flows are currently lower than expected and are forecast to be too low to maintain reservoir elevation within the license limits due to damaged flashboards.  FirstLight needs to repair the Spooner Dam flashboards starting today.  The reservoir will be lowered about 3-and-a-half feet.  The repair is slated to start Wednesday and be completed by June 15th.  This emergency repair is being done about a month earlier than scheduled.
