Boaters on Lenape put in danger

The lake level was down close to a foot this past weekend, far more than the 1 to 2 inches mentioned in the letter sent out by the Public Works Director. Four boats that I know of either hit bottom or an object and were damaged. On Sunday a boat hit an underground cable installed by the Atlantic County Rowing Assoc., which got wrapped around his propeller and damaged his boat. Depending on who you talk to this cable should have been removed after the rowing season.

It is my feeling that in the future boaters and lake homeowners be notified the following:
1) Why this is happening now and not out of season?
2) How many inches will the lake be lowered?
3) How many days will the level be down?
4) Is it safe to leave your boat moored or will it end up beached?
5) Is it safe for boating?
6) If the level goes below the amount announced.

I am working on a map of the lake showing safe areas to boat as well as areas to avoid when the level is down.
