We live on the other side of the bay from you. We have a stream that goes behind our house that flows down to the lake. The source is high on "Alton Mountain", and is spring fed. Same thing on the east side; The Cascades crosses 28a flowing down to the lake, and it originates from from high above the lake as well, again from springs.
Certainly a call to the Alton Water Dept is suggested, as there is a, ready for this, main main coming from the cistern at the top of Bay Hill near rte 28. They certainly would like to have a heads up on a potential water leak.
We have had a fair amount of rain this past month or so, and with the high snow accumulation, may add up to a high water table for your area.
Good luck.
