Save the date! Our Annual Fall Neighborhood Cleanup will be held on Saturday, November 11 from 9:00 - Noon. We will meet at Morgan Park and disburse from there. Areas of concentration will include Morgan Park, Shore Park, Indian Lake Beach at Clason Rd, as well as the Frostholm and Hapgood-Brooks memorials.

We have received a copy of the notice of intent filed on behalf of the city with the Conservation Commission for the renovation of Indian Lake Beach. The filing has not yet been posted and the date of the Conservation Commission hearing has not been announced. When the filing is posted it will be available on the Conservation Commission web page. The Indian Lake Parks master plan was developed almost 10 years ago and we are hopeful that this represents forward progress! We will be reaching out to the city for an update on the time line. The proposed site diagram looks similar to the master plan with some minor modifications.

There will be NO significant water level draw down at Indian Lake again this year. There are currently no plans to resume draw downs in the future.

The Worcester Cyanobacteria Monitoring Collaborative (WCMC) is a group of volunteer community scientists that tracks cyanobacteria activity at our local lakes and ponds. Between May and October, volunteers collect samples 1-2 times a month and examine them under the microscope for cyanobacteria. In addition, the samples are analyzed using several other indicators of bloom risk.

The new Indian Lake alum dosing station is operating during rain events and continues to be calibrated as data is analyzed.
