We are conducting a survey of all households within the Spofford Lake watershed.  This survey is an important source of data that will be used in the development of the Spofford Lake Watershed Management Plan. The development of this plan is a crucial piece of maintaining this valuable asset.  The plan will contain information with specific actions that can be done to improve the water quality of the lake.

Please take a few minutes to complete this survey.  The names of property owners as well as locations are not requested as part of this information in order to maintain anonymity.  Our goal is merely to collect the information to use in the development of the plan.  Other sources of data collection will include methods such as a visual survey of erosion areas, current water analysis, and historical reports showing trends from water testing of the lake and its tributaries, as well as other data.

Please complete the survey by October 31, 2017 or contact lmurphy@swrpc.org
if after this date.
