Lake Boat Ban on Lake Waramaug Up for Vote Next Week

Voters in Kent, Warren and Washington will decide July 31 whether to ban wake boats on Lake Waramaug. The proposed ordinance would prohibit enhanced-wake vessels due to environmental and safety concerns. First Selectmen say communities are divided, and a referendum is the fairest way forward. Voting will be held from noon to 8 p.m. at each town hall.
