Lake Water Quality

Our reason for being, and the primary focus of our Lake Harvey Association is the lake itself.

First and foremost, the purity of its waters. We have been fortunate so far. The lake is deep, fed by bountiful springs. That's a plus. It's main watershed is good. Measures have been taken, so far successfully, to divert adverse runoff from our shores. And we have a boat monitoring/wash program in place for the busy summer months to protect our waters from the dreaded Eurasian watermilfoil and other aquatic problems that have contaminated so many other Vermont lake waters. Members of our lake community have donated much in the way of time, thought, labor and dollars.

Still, so much more is needed to assure our luck continues. Since the inception of our Association, our Board has worked hard - on a volunteer basis - to focus on the things that needed to be done and to raise the funds with which to accomplish those objectives. We've had a grant or two. Occasionally a generous donor, or a gift from an estate. But year in and year out, the necessary funds come from those individuals who comprise our Association membership. That's what we rely upon, as we search constantly for additional sources of revenue.

Prevention is the only cure. Join Us to keep Lake Harvey pure.
