Letter: Lake Auburn ‘a fragile resource’ needing protection

SUN JOURNAL • June 2, 2022

Lake Auburn, our drinking water source and its watershed, protected for 100 years by our Twin City ancestors and water officials, may soon be negatively affected by zoning changes and proposed development near the lake. This proposed development is short-sighted in my opinion. As a Twin Cities resident and visitor to the lake for more than 70 years, I have concluded the following: Our lake is a fragile resource. First and foremost, Auburn city officials need to protect Lake Auburn, nix the recent zoning changes and save the development for another part of the city. ~ Karen Bernier, Auburn
