Water Quality Testing
Each year BBLCA participates in the Kawartha Lake Stewards Water Testing program. Our lake is tested for E.coli, phosphorus, and water clarity. Samples are taken numerous times during the spring and summer months by our volunteer lake stewards (currently Ron Brown and John Shufelt - thanks gentlemen!).

Quarry Committee
Our township is "blessed" with relatively easy and inexpensive access to aggregate (gravel, decorative stone, etc.). As such we have seen accelerated growth in applications for quarry operations in recent years. While there is no doubt about the need and value of aggregate in our society, a proliferation of quarry activity within close proximity to our shoreline can have negative impacts on our waterfront experience.
Through our BBLCA Quarry Committee, we are continually monitor the quarry situation in our area, with the mandate to keep our members informed, and take action when deemed necessary.
