There will be an Important Ossipee Watershed water quality meeting today, June 19th, at 5pm at Freedom Town Hall. For the first time, residents of Ossipee, Freedom, Effingham, Tamworth, and Madison will be able to see an assessment of our local water quality based on a full 10 years of data. Many local volunteers and scientists have been involved in this program supported in part by all of the area's towns.
The dam is wide open but the water remains high due to the heavy snow-melt. Here's what to expect next.
Winter is over. The official 2014 ice-out date for Ossipee Lake was Tuesday, April 22, at 2 pm.
HB 292 will increase the boat registration fee by $2 and generate approximately $200,000 in additional revenue to help keep invasive variable milfoil under control in infested waters. State Senator Jed Bradley, who represents the Ossipee Lake area, co-sponsored the measure in January.
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services has posted a report on the results of last year's Volunteer Lakes Assessment Program, which keeps tabs on the state of state's waters. Ossipee Lake Alliance participates in this program annually.
