Letter: Filtration plant wouldn’t maintain lake’s beauty

SUN JOURNAL • April 5, 2022

There is a lot of debate over whether Auburn should build a water filtration plant for Lake Auburn. I think it is important for the public to understand that a filtration plant would not make Lake Auburn water appear beautiful the way it appears now. It would not put clean water back into Lake Auburn. Auburn should continue to do everything in its power to reduce the likelihood of Lake Auburn receiving more pollution because the cost of filtration goes up as the pollution level goes up, and a filtration plant might eventually be overwhelmed. ~ Ben Lounsbury, Auburn
