Summer 2023
Waneka Lake Boathouse Opened June 22
Favorable local and regional conditions have allowed the allocation and distribution of water resources necessary to fill Waneka Lake for boathouse operations.
The City’s priority is to ensure sufficient water supply is stored and available for essential indoor uses for the community. This spring, regional water availability due to snowpack levels, a slow and steady melting of snow, and added precipitation has enabled the City to replenish its storage reservoirs and deliver water to Waneka Lake and Greenlee Wildlife Preserve.
While Lafayette and the region are in favorable water positions today, climate conditions this summer, winter, and next spring can quickly change the situation. Conservation and reducing outdoor irrigation are key factors in shifting habits to reduce demand and move to more sustainable water usage.
