The basic purpose of these
associations are as follows:
-
To support issues which concern
the welfare of the lake in general, including, but not limited to,
the conservation of the water supply in the lake and watershed,
the maintenance of the quality of the water safe for swimming and
conducive to the renewal of fish resources, the prevention of
pollution, and the preservation of navigation;
-
To support the measurement and
evaluation of hydrological data at the lake so that the decisions
and actions of the corporation shall be in line with what is best
for the lake; and,
-
To act as a cohesive body to
bring issues of interest to or effecting lake residents and users
to the attention of governmental entities
Some of the associations
have links to their own web sites to give you more information about
their area. We have listed these links below for your convenience. Also we have included a link to a
