At the start of the meeting a resident alerted the Select Board that Lake Chauncey has been closed by the Board of Health "due to high bacteria levels," and the board confirmed information is posted on the town website advising people and animals not to enter the water.
A board member asked whether fishing was still permitted; the speaker responded that fishing should be avoided and that skin contact could cause problems. The board agreed to ensure the advisory is clearly communicated to the public through town channels.
