Nothing unusual at Newton Lake right now: the water level of 802.63 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 802.61 m (+0.02 m).

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 802.61 m and 802.75 m.

Lakes and reservoirs often sit lower in fall after a summer of evaporation and use, and recover with winter rain and spring snowmelt.
