Hello! The March precip totals are at 4.49 inches and 7.38 inches at the main office and dam respectively. And that’s been great for the lake level, which went from 11.61 on March 9th to 11.00 feet down from full as of this morning, a gain of about 7 inches! Keep it coming!

[BBMWD @BBMWD]

Good morning! So far this week, we've recorded 0.22 inches of precipitation at the Main Office and 1.83 inches of precipitation at the Dam. The lake level is holding steady at 11.20 feet down from full, which is about an inch up from the level on Monday.

Attention Customers: Due to the social distancing requirement set by our Governor, I have elected to use electronic and telephonic communications only and the front counter will be closed to the public. We are here to assist as normal and will process dock and Lake use permits.

Groundhog Phil was wrong again when he predicted an early spring. Luckily, I don’t have to go far to get Lake updates - BBMWD posts precipitation totals and lake levels as storms progress. Check out the current numbers: Dam = 1.11" Office = 1.57" Lake level = 11.35' down

[BBMWD @BBMWD]

Let it rain! According to our digital weather stations, we've gotten 0.24 (Dam)and 0.27 (Office) inches of precip today. The wind is making the digital lake level probe "bounce" so hopefully we can get solid numbers for you folks tomorrow, but for now we are loving this rain!

[BBMWD @BBMWD]

It looks like we might have a short break from rain/snow today, with more on the way! We've recorded 1.24" at the Dam and 0.77" here at the Main Office, and right now the lake level is 11.49 feet down from full. That's a gain of about an inch from Monday's lake level!

[BBMWD @BBMWD]

The wind has dropped a bit, and the lake level probe is holding pretty steady at 11.58 feet down from full. If you missed it yesterday, the 4 inches of snow at the office melted down to 0.43 inches of precipitation, and the total at the dam was 1.06 inches.

[BBMWD @BBMWD]

March is off to a good start, hopefully this month ends up wetter than last month! The wind is interfering with the lake level probe, but we have about 4 inches of snow at the Main Office, which melted down to 0.43 inches of precipitation. We hope to have the lake level tomorrow!
