Board Action - Lake Ontario Water Levels The Town Board in its session Tuesday, 17 January 2012, passed a resolution accepting a letter addressed to the International Joint Commission regarding the Lake Ontario water level issue. It reads:
10 January 2012
Ms. Lana Pollock, Chair International Joint Commission 2000 L Street NW Suite 615 Washington, DC 20036
Dear Ms. Pollock:
The International Joint Commission's proposed plan for controlling water levels of Lake Ontario is of great interest and concern to waterfront property owners in the Town of Huron. The Town of Huron is located in Wayne County. The northern border of the Town is the Lake Ontario shoreline - the west border is the Great Sodus Bay and the east border is Port Bay. East Bay is also located in the Town of Huron. Needless to say, in addition to commercial property development, most of the residential development in our Town is on or around the embayments.
We understand that there are many interests to be considered in this matter. Our concern, however, is lack of consideration of the riparian rights of waterfront property owners, and the absence of provisions to mitigate property damage likely to occur under the proposed plan. For this reason we oppose the plan as presented.
Frank Bevacqua graciously took time to tour our shoreline. He witnessed first hand the unprecedented amount of erosion caused by the high water level in 2011. We are concerned that the threat to the integrity of much of the land will increase by uncontrolled high water levels. The barrier bar of Sodus Bay and the east barrier bar of Port Bay are fragile to say the least.
Concerning the public meetings planned by the working group during the week of March 12th, 2012, many if not most of the waterfront property owners spend the winter months elsewhere. If you are interested in the concerns of those most directly affected, we respectfully request that these public meetings be postponed until June or later.
We otherwise thank you for your time and consideration of our comments.
Very truly yours,
Laurie Crane Supervisor

Water Hook-ups - Connecting to the Public Water Line In those areas being serviced with public water through the newly formed Water Districts, residents should be careful when selecting a contractor to connect their home to the water line. Be sure the contractor has proper insurance. If you are dealing with someone you don't know, be aware of the averge cost of installation and be wary of a contractor willing to lower the price, just to get the business.
