Notice to Mariners

Oswego Canal – Oswego

July 6, 2026

 

Mariners are advised that Brookfield Power will lower the water surface level between Oswego Canal Locks O-6 in and Lock O-7 in Oswego approximately 3 feet below normal pool for three days beginning Tuesday, July 7th, for flashboard maintenance activities on the dam at Lock O-7.

These activities will cause a temporary drop in the water level which may affect boats or docks on the pond level above Lock O-7. This reduction should not impact most recreational traffic. It is anticipated that the water level will return to normal depths by the end of the day on Thursday, July 9th.
