The Board would like to remind everyone that despite some advertising claims to the contrary, the use of soaps, shampoos, lawn fertilizers, etc. in or near the lake is still strongly discouraged by scientists. Phosphates and nitrates are only some of the many damaging components in these products.
We need to stay vigilant with the health of the lake. Specifically nutrient run-off into the lake.
Please keep grey-water and septic systems in good functioning order. Have them pumped regularly.
A Quebec environmental group coined this very simple phrase, which is easy to remember:
If You Wouldn’t Drink It, Keep It Out Of Our Lakes And Rivers!
