The Auburn Water District has hired a public relations team to conduct a web and social media campaign in response to the public discourse surrounding potential changes at Lake Auburn. The move comes after weeks of public debate over proposed changes in watershed regulations and a zone change that has since been challenged by a petition group. The Water District is also facing a lawsuit from the city of Lewiston. Signs stating “Protect Lake Auburn” can now be seen throughout the city. While the “Protect Lake Auburn” effort has succeeded in gaining traction, with signs now visible on properties throughout the city, Deputy City Manager Brian Wood said this week that the city has removed more than a dozen signs.
