Weed Advisory Group and Information

At Town Meeting in May, 2015, it was requested that a Town Weed Advisory Committee be formed to advise the Board of Selectmen about the growing weed problem on Lake Maspenock.

The town has formed the Lake Maspenock Aquatic Vegetation Control & Management Advisory Group to research and develop additional approaches to combat the weeds. This group is currently meeting regularly.

Meeting minutes to these meetings will be posted on our website, once approved.

Below is a link to the DPW Public Google Drive with comprehensive information and reports.
