Good morning: I came across a few resources via the USGS for learning about how water is managed in the Finger Lakes and the Canal. Many have a misconception that it's an easy or quick "fix", to let water out and lower lake levels, but due to the "trough" we are in here at Montezuma, moving large volumes of water safely is a slow process.

South May's Point Road looks like it had water across it as well, and the Clyde River/Canal is touching the pavement of Route 89, but seems to be holding at that level since last week. If you see water over a road, please do not attempt to cross it. You just never know what the condition of the road/ground is like under the water.
