MILFORD — Waubee Lake needs your help! The Waubee Lake Association is working to help resolve sediment issues, blue-green algae, Starry Stonewort, invasive weeds and other issues that affect water quality. The Lilly Foundation is involved with taking water samples from the lake and analyzing the results. The foundation and association are looking at what actions need to be taken to ensure the health of Waubee Lake.

The association is encouraging all lake residents, as well as those who enjoy cruising and using Waubee Lake, to join in on raising funds to be able to improve the quality of the lake. The Waubee Lake Association has dues of $50 per year to be a member. Those interested in joining the association can mail payments to Sue Moneyheffer, 117 E. Nelson Drive, Milford, IN, 46542. You do not have to own property on the lake to be an associate member of the association.

The Waubee Lake Association will be hosting fundraising events to help further the funds raised for these tests and to keep the lake healthy and usable for generations to come. The association has established the Lake Enhancement Fund and all profits from the fundraising events will be put into the Lake Enhancement Fund.

Members of the Waubee Lake Association invite interested individuals and businesses to make donations to the Lake Enhancement Fund. The association is a not-for-profit and donations are tax deductible. The association offers four levels of donations: $100, bronze; $300, silver; $500, gold; and $750, platinum.
