Foster City Lagoon Lowered to Winter Level
The lagoon will be lowered 6 to 8 inches this week.
The Foster City Public Works Department has announced the water level in the Foster City Lagoon will be lowered by about 6 to 8 inches this week.
The City’s Lagoon Management Plan sets standard lagoon water levels for Winter and Summer periods, according to city officials.
The lagoon level is lowered in the Winter in order to prepare to accept additional storm water associated with frequent Winter storms.
