MASSENA — In response to an order by the International St. Lawrence River Board of Control, the gates at the Iroquois Dam near Waddington will be lowered on Wednesday due to increased water levels on Lake St. Lawrence.
The order to lower the gates was issued Tuesday to the New York Power Authority and Ontario Power Generation, which jointly operate the Robert Moses-Robert H. Saunders Power Dam.
Iroquois Dam is upstream of the power dam and regulates the outflow from Lake Ontario and the water level of Lake St. Lawrence. The gates of the Iroquois Dam are being lowered to help prevent Lake St. Lawrence, the section of the river between Waddington and Massena, from rising too high.
The lowered gates at the Iroquois Dam will require recreational boats to use Iroquois Lock to pass through the dam.
The gates will remain in place until further notice, the announcement from NYPA said.
