Lake Quinsigamond Water Tests Being Conducted Resulting From Sewerage Spill
The City of Worcester, Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and the Town of Shrewsbury are conducting tests today and over the next few days resulting from a sewerage spill in the morning of July 2nd. Two City of Worcester pump stations failed to keep pace with heavy flows resulting from a heavy rainstorm that swept through the area. As a result, an underdetermined amount of sewerage made its way into the Lake in the Lake Quinsigamond Bridge (Rte 9) area and in the southern area of Lake Quinsigamond.
The public will be advised of the results of this testing but in the interim great care should be taken while making use of Lake Quinsigamond.

DRAWDOWN
BEGINS - 11/12/2008
The Lake Quinsigamond Commission plans to lower the water level, or draw down, Lake Quinsigamond and Flint Pond on or shortly after Wednesday, November 12, 2008. The Irish Dam in Grafton will be lowered two or three inches a day until the water elevation in Lake Quinsigamond and Flint Pond is twenty-four to thirty inches lower than normal. The purpose of the drawdown is to expose the roots of nuisance aquatic vegetation proliferating in Lake Quinsigamond and Flint Pond to freezing temperatures and thereby reducing some of the heavy weed growth along the shoreline and in the shallow areas of the lake and pond.
