Letter: Protect Lake Auburn, preserve clean air, water

SUN JOURNAL • August 4, 2022

Clean air and water are things we all need. Auburn Mayor Jason Levesque has proposed plans for Lake Auburn which would destroy its clean drinking water status and require a $40 million-plus filtration system, and an incremental $2 million (and growing annually) expenditure every year. There are two options for Auburn citizens. First, a recall of the mayor and the councilors who do his bidding, or second, a study of Lake Auburn done by skilled and honest people not selected by our mayor. In the meantime, anyone who damages the lake of our neighborhoods before citizens have had a chance to fully express their concerns would need to remove any construction, repair the area fully to the approval of all in the neighborhood, and pay for any and all environmental damage. ~ Jim Wellehan, Auburn
