County Releases Survey On Potential Lake District

MAYVILLE — The Chautauqua Lake Protection and Rehabilitation Agency has launched an online community survey to gather input on a potential Chautauqua Lake District.

The survey is intended to seek feedback from residents and property owners.

The agency was appointed by the Chautauqua County Legislature in 2018 to explore forming a Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District in order to improve the health and use of the lake. The agency was tasked with evaluating lake protection and rehabilitation needs and making recommendations to the County Legislature regarding the creation and activities of a Chautauqua Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District.

To date, the agency has developed a preliminary outline of key components that would be included in a district plan, including potential boundaries, services to be provided, governance options and possible fee structures. The community survey asks about these topics and seeks feedback about moving forward with the lake district.

The survey builds on feedback heard at a community meeting in March 2020, just before the implementation of NYS on PAUSE in response to the COVID-19 pandemic halted in-person community engagement activities.

“For the moment, we can’t get community feedback the way we’re used to: by talking face to face,” said Pierre Chagnon, agency chairman. “This online survey is a way to reach community members and property owners who would benefit the most from the creation of a Protection and Rehabilitation District for Chautauqua Lake.”

The survey is available at www.SurveyMonkey.com/r/CHQlakedistrict and will be open until March 15.
