Skaneateles Lake Level Rises Two Feet Over 1954
City Engineer Potter W. Kelly reported Skaneateles Lake, the main water reservoir, stood about two feet higher than a year ago due to recent rains and runoff. The level reached roughly 5060 feet above sea level, five hundredths higher than March 2, 1954. He noted each foot of elevation adds three billion gallons, and the lake’s higher level should ease next summer’s supplies. He expected more snow and rain to further boost levels before summer.
