Entities Look to Acquire Hundreds of Acres Around Delavan Lake
Entities with an interest in Delavan Lake are embarking on a project to create a buffer zone around the lake that one local official believes could be as significant as the $40 million lake drawdown of 1989.
The town dredged the Inlet in 2011, removing 45,000 cubic yards of phosphorus-laden sediment. It plans to dredge the Mound Road ponds, which were built as part of the $40 million lake rehabilitation project, again next year and has also dredged Brown’s Channel.
Officials are working toward a plan to acquire additional land around the lake to create a larger buffer for run-off into the lake. The plan would involve acquiring hundreds of acres around the lake that would take farmland out of production and improve water quality in the lake.
