Refilling Indian Lake

For Immediate Release: 3/11/2021 10:34 am

The City of Worcester Department of Public Works & Parks will close the outlet valve and replace the flash boards at the Indian Lake spillway during the week of March 15, 2021, so as to begin refilling the lake, thereby ending the winter drawdown. The water level will be allowed to rise over the next two weeks or until it reaches pre-drawdown levels.


Winter drawdowns have proven to be an effective way to control the growth of aquatic weeds along the shoreline and in shallow parts of City lakes and ponds. The drawdown is coordinated with the Indian lake Watershed Association, and has been approved by the Worcester Conservation Commission.
