As for all water in Canada,federal laws apply. But the law will change soon to give the power to provincial and towns to regulate lakes and rivers to facilitate new lakes\boating rules according to each case. Lake is not natural,they built a dam longtime ago for a papermill hydro,not in use anymore. So no springs or underground water source.Most of the water is coming from 2 small rivers that run along LOT of farmland.That' s the biggest cause of phosphorus in the lake.
It's not done yet but we have to organize cause this guy is a retired pharmacist,very bright and with a lot of free time.He hate PWC with a passion and started a petition to ban them in 2016 with no success.
The news of his project has cause quite a commotion here.
In the far-west, he would be hanging from the highest tree at the town limits...
Edit:Lawn fertilizer have been banned for more then 10 years around the lake.
Thanks to all!
