We have received inquiries as to whether the water level in the pond is being let down to the lowest level possible in anticipation of the coming storm. Today, Joe's Pond Association President, Tom Dente, directed the following message to Josh Castonguay and Brian Fitzgerald at Green Mountain Power Corp.:

We have received calls wondering if water level should be taken to it lowest limit with Hurricane Sandy about to pay a visit? Have repairs been completed at the dam so the generator can run thus releasing more water downstream and help with the flooding? Please let me know so we can inform the members.

Thanks

As soon as either Tom or I have heard from GMP, I will post their response here on the blog and on the web site.
