EMERGENCY SLOW NO WAKE - EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
The Town of Waterford has enacted an Emergency Slow-No-Wake Order for the entire waterway (Tichigan Lake, Buena Lake, and the Fox River).
All watercraft must operate at slow-no-wake speed.
This order was put in place by the Town Board and will remain in active until water levels recedes and dam gauge levels return to safe limits.
Draw Down Dredging - Riparian Vote on Budget Appropriation (PASSED)
Vote by riparian community passes to modify annual budget for the purposes outlined in our dredging project request. The WWMD will now move forward with soil sampling and approvals from the DNR. At the same time the WWMD and our engineers will be working to develop an updated timeline for riparian owners.
The vote suggested strong support for a draw down dredging approach. Many riparian comments were heard and noted to be addressed by the WWMD and Engineers at future riparian owner workshops. The WWMD thanks the community for coming out and sharing their thoughts, concerns, and suggestions as this process moves forward.
Official information will be posted on the WWMD website, social media and through email communication with riparian owners.
Wake Boat Impact - Informational Meeting (May)
Date: Thursday, May 21
Time: 6 p.m.
Location: Waterford Town Hall
During the May monthly meeting of commissioners we invite the public to hear the informational presentation by Wisconsin Lakes Association. The topic of banning wake boating activities has been prevalent across the state. While this matter is debated at the state level, many local lake associations have enacted bans on these activities. The WWMD has heard concerns from both sides and invites public to hear the information presented.
Please note that the WWMD has NO ordinance authority to enact a Wake-Boat Ban, such ordinance would need to come from the Town of Waterford. As a community partner we are providing informational opportunities for our riparian owners and town leadership.
