We Need You!
Keep an eye on your mail - you will be receiving a postcard from the Town of Alstead regarding an important meeting next Thursday evening.
Who: Lake Warren Community, NHDES, Select Board of Alstead and Alstead Residents
What: NHDES Instream Flow Study Informational Meeting
When: Thursday, September 1, 6:30 p.m.
Where: Second Congregational Church, North Road (Four Corners), East Alstead
Why: The Cold River, which is one of 19 Protected Rivers in NH, is part of the NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) Instream Flow Study. This program examines the effects of releasing water from Crescent Lake (Acworth) and Lake Warren to supply the Cold River with water during times of drought.
This study is in the initial phases and your input is important! Come hear about the potential effects of a drawdown (perhaps by as much as two feet) on water quality, Cyanobacteria, recreation, and excessive plant growth in our lake prior to the town hearing.
Understanding this important issue is vital to the future health of Lake Warren-please join us! There will be ample time for questions and discussion.
