On Wednesday, August 18th, an ordinance enacting a temporary ban on personal watercraft at Indian Lake went into effect. This has been approved by the appropriate authority at the state level. The ban applies to residents and visitors and will be in effect through September 2022, unless a comprehensive management plan can be enacted sooner in the interest of public safety. The penalty for each violation is $300.
The City of Worcester has already begun educating residents and visitors. Enforcement will be provided by the City of Worcester.
