The Septic Survey is now live!

The Monomonac Lake Property Owners Association (MLPOA) and the Winchendon Springs Lake Association (WSLA) are working together to develop a Watershed Management Plan (WMP) to help safeguard the long-term health and water quality of Lake Monomonac.

A major factor in protecting lake health is the proper care and performance of septic systems around the shoreline. This survey is designed to help us gain insight into the wastewater systems servicing lake properties and the level of knowledge residents have about how these systems impact water quality. The information you provide will help guide future education, support and improvement efforts that keep Lake Monomonac clean and safe for all who enjoy it.

This survey should take less than 5 minutes to complete. All responses are confidential, and no personal information will be shared in any published materials.

Your participation is important to the success of our work. Will you please take a few minutes to complete this survey?

Best Practices

Inspect Erosion Control Measures

TIP: Before winter sets in, check and repair erosion control features like mulch, gravel, or silt fences on your property.

Why: Fall rains and snowmelt can cause erosion, leading to sediment runoff into lakes. Proper erosion control protects water quality.
