Lake Level

The Green Cay Village lake is a 3.57 acre lake with design level of 16·0 feet above sea level.

From an appearance standpoint, a low level for the lake is about 15.9 feet or less and a high level is about 16.9 feet or more, as measured on the surveyed gage in the southeast corner of the lake. Water should be added to the lake if it goes below 15.6 feet.

Note 1. It takes 232,657 gallons to bring the lake level up from 15.6 feet to 15.8 feet. And at 20 cents per 1000 gallons, this would cost us $46.53.

Note 2: The reported gallons pumped per month to irrigate the property is about 3.6 million gallons per the Hover Pumping Systems on line reports. Assuming that it never rained, at 20 cents per 1000 gallons for reclaimed water, it would cost us $720.00 per month to irrigate the property.

Fortunately it does rain and our water collection system is very efficient, so much so that we have only had to add water two times in the years 2007 through 2010.

2/21/2011 - The lake control system was set to automatically add water if the lake gets down to 15.6 feet and to stop adding water at 15.8 feet. Based on early measurements water is being added at a rate of 50,000 gallons a day which is less than half the irrigation use rate.

Readings normally taken about 6:30 PM.
