Owasco Lake: Lake Level
The Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) sets the guidelines for maintaining water levels in the Owasco Lake Outlet. The City of Auburn is charged with the control of the level by means of the State Dam at Swift Street.
The ACOE "rule curve" shows what the water target levels should be during the year.
