The City Council moved forward with two more proposed changes to Lake Auburn watershed rules Tuesday after signaling earlier this month that mediation with the city of Lewiston had failed. In a first reading, the council approved a prohibition on any new septic systems being installed within 300 feet of the lake, as well as establishing a “conservation and natural resource protection” zone in the areas of the Lake Auburn watershed currently located in the agricultural zone. Still, some residents remain concerned over the proposals.
