Here is some LAKE SAFETY information you should know about as we head into the Independence Day holiday period:
1. Three Conesus Lake speed buoys have already been struck by watercraft this early in the season. Two buoys required replacement of their solar lights at approximately $200 each, and the third buoy was so damaged that it needed to be completely replaced - an expense of over $600. PLEASE ask everyone to steer clear of the speed buoys in Conesus Lake. They are not slalom markers or water toys to be used for anyone's entertainment. They are aids to navigation, and it is against the law to do anything that might jeopardize their effectiveness.
Stay away from the speed buoys.
The Sheriff's Marine Patrol and other law enforcement agencies are closely watching activities around the speed buoys, and 911 has been called when boats/PWCs have been seen using speed buoys inappropriately. No one should want to be the first person caught damaging one of these buoys.
2. There have recently been several instances of dock sections being stolen from residents' lakeside property, before the sections have been put in the lake. Police reports have been filed, and law enforcement is investigating. Please keep an eye on your own property, and call 911 to report any suspicious activity that might be taking place on unoccupied properties in your neighborhood.
Let's have a safe Lake of Fire and 4th of July holiday. Do your part. Be careful on the lake, and do the right thing when you're on the water.
