09/05/2025 - UPDATE FROM EAGLE CREEK RENEWAL:

[Lake Arrowhead Community Newsletter]

Dear Lake Arrowhead Community,

Ledgemere Hydro is providing this weekly update on the reservoir elevation at the Ledgemere Dam Project.

Current Condition:  The reservoir elevation has remained steady at 305.1 feet since August 29, 2025. While stable, this level remains below the normal summer operating range. The primary cause continues to be the ongoing drought in the Saco River watershed, which has reduced inflows to the reservoir.

Actions Underway

• Gate 2 repairs were completed last week, and Gate 1 repairs are in progress with completion expected by September 12.
• A new staff gauge and monitoring equipment will be installed on September 12 to improve measurement accuracy.
• In consultation with state resource agencies, we are continuing a temporary inflow management approach designed to restore the reservoir as inflows improve.

Community and Recreation

• No environmental impacts have been observed, but boating and fishing in shallow areas remain affected.
• We will continue to provide weekly updates until the reservoir elevation returns to its normal range.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work through these challenges.

Sincerely,

Melissa Rondou |Director, Licensing and Compliance
