Septic System Inspections
Inspections of septic systems around Otsego Lake will begin in 2005. All systems within 500 feet of the lake and 100 feet of the lake’s tributary streams will be inspected and is in conformance with new regulations enacted in early 2004 under New York State Public Health Law. The new regulations are intended to protect Otsego Lake as a drinking water supply for the Village of Cooperstown and homes around the Lake.

OLA President Dave Sanford congratulated Biological Field Station Volunteer Diver Jerry Munrett after presenting him an OLA T-shirt in recognition of his continuing contributions to the health of the Lake. The OLA President took time out from the October Board of Director’s meeting to present OLA T-shirts to six volunteer divers. There will be more in a future OLA News regarding these volunteers.
