A survey found 237 sites where pollution around Great Pond affected the water quality of the lake, representatives of the 7 Lakes Alliance and Belgrade Lakes Association said Thursday night. The two groups briefed the communities of the watershed, including Belgrade, Rome, Smithfield and Mercer, on next steps to address the causes and solutions to the problems affecting the lake. Great Pond is on the state’s list of priority watersheds due to declining water clarity caused by increased phosphorus.
