Vote Yes on Ballot Prop 3 to clean Southampton’s polluted water bodies, including the ocean, and preserve more land!
The Village of Southampton has received $10 million in grants for a water filtration system for Lake Agawam.
After cleaning Lake Agawam, the filtration system can be used to restore the town’s other lakes and ponds.
Prop 3 is asking Southampton Town Residents whether this fully funded algae harvester can be placed temporarily on 1.2 acres of vacant land at 43 South Main Street, the lot at the northeast corner of the lake behind the Jobs Lane parking lot.
In exchange the Town will acquire 4.8 acres of land for community preservation on Pond Lane.
Making the lake safe for recreation also eliminates the need to close the beaches when the Gin Lane pipe is open!
The federal and town grants fully fund the installation. It’s already paid for!
All that’s needed now to deliver a clean lake, safe beaches and more preserved open space is your “yes” vote on November 5th.
