Come on.....You believe that? We had no snow pack to melt into the lake last winter (it rained all winter and no water was held back because of the fear of too much water in the spring like a couple springs ago), no rain this spring and summer. The lake never got up to the high for the season like normal. We started off 6" below the normal when the lake is the highest. Add that up with a bad drought and you get crappy water levels. My fathers 28 acre pond and well in Ontario County went dry. It has nothing to do with people taking water from the lake.
