DEM to Begin Lake Cleanup Projects This Week

Three local bodies of water will be impacted by the cleanups.

 

The Town of Coventry has been advised by the State department of Environmental Management (DEM) that a long awaited environmental cleanup of the bottoms of several bodies of water will begin the week of Nov. 26, 2012.

The cleanups will take place in the areas of Lake Tiogue, Little Lake Tiogue and Little Lake George. While the work is being done, water levels will be lowered further and work crews will be in the area.

A recent release from Town Manager Tom Hoover's officer suggests that residents and businesses bordering these water bodies take advantage of the lower water levels by performing work that would not otherwise be possible when the levels are up.
