The current water level in the lake at Dewitt Park on Cedar Street is six inches above the highest level ever recorded previously, according to Paul Osborn, parks supervisor.
The previous record was 1997. Measurements were not taken prior to 1995.
Osborn said water levels rose nine feet in two months.
How much the water level drops over the course of the summer, Osborn said, depends on how much rain we get. Typically, he said, the water level can drop two or three feet during the summer.
For comparison sake, below is a picture of the same dock as above taken last summer.
