News & Views A bi-weekly section where readers will be informed on subjects of seasonal interest, upcoming events and other timely topics. CLERK'S CORNER - Greetings from the Township! Despite the peaks & valleys in our weather patterns, clearly it would seem spring is on our doorstep. With that, we all need to be prepared for how we manage our water use! As our neighboring communities have done, the Township has developed a practical conservation plan that will hopefully help stop the slow of White Bear Lake. This year we will ALL be monitoring the Lake's level throughout the spring, summer, & fall. At any time White Bear Lake drops below the legally mandated level of 923.5 feet, irrigation will be restricted per existent Town Ordinance. Essentially, the terms within which we all must adhere remain the same, but all functionality is tied to the lake level. We will be updating status as frequently as we can via the Town's G websites. More information will become available as we close in on the spring portion of our irrigation seasons!
