UPDATE ON EXTENDED DRAW DOWN

The Town Weed Com­mit­tee and Con­ser­va­tion Com­mis­sion both had meet­ings on Tues­day, 10/16/18.   A lake res­i­dent has report­ed to both the Con­ser­va­tion Com­mis­sion and DPW that they have lost water dur­ing the extend­ed draw downs and in fact, have been impact­ed even dur­ing the nor­mal draw downs.  There­fore, only the nor­mal draw down will take place this year.

Two cours­es of action that are being pursued:

    —  A motion was made at the Town Weed Com­mit­tee meet­ing for the DPW to con­tact the Board of Health such that an assess­ment of their well can be done.    Once that is com­plete, a mit­i­ga­tion plan can be developed

 

    —  The Town Weed Com­mit­tee will work this win­ter to con­sid­er alter­na­tive method(s) of weed con­trol to be admin­is­tered in the spring giv­en the most recent weed survey.

 

We will keep you informed on any progress made.
