Letter: Don’t put Lake Auburn’s watershed at risk for development

SUN JOURNAL • June 18, 2022

The city of Auburn has launched a $10,000 public relations campaign “to dispel rumors.” Those working on the “Save Lake Auburn” effort are not spreading rumors. There have been many intelligent and reasonable arguments made to keep the present regulations to protect the lake’s watershed and our water. For a very long time they have been assuring residents of Auburn and Lewiston quality drinking water. The study done by consultants did not recommend development in the watershed area. It is not necessary to put Lake Auburn’s watershed at risk for development. No amount of money spent on public relations will convince us that a controversial, hurried and poor decision is in our best interest. ~ Dorothy Crowley Noel, Auburn
