SINCE 2015...
Faced with the awareness of citizens and elected officials, and the fact that some people were washing their boats in places that could have a direct impact on lake water quality, it was in 2015 that the Municipality set up the current washing station. Over the years, the Municipality has followed the evolution of techniques and research on the subject, and knew that improvements could be made. In 2023, the presence of aquatic invasive species was confirmed in 2 lakes on its territory, notably the Chinese Mystery Snail.Follow the next steps in the implementation of the new regulation and installations 😊
