History

What this means

Nothing unusual at Newton Lake right now: the water level of 802.62 m is in the normal range for mid-October.

That puts it 0.30 m above the median of 802.33 m for mid-October, based on 11 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 802.60 m (+0.02 m).

The level is falling, down 0.03 m over the past 24 hours. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 802.61 m and 802.76 m.

Many reservoirs reach their low point of the year in fall, before winter rain and snow start the refill.
