New Citizen Group Advocates for CDA Lake Health

A citizen-led group has launched a website and petition for community leaders to publicly acknowledge the deteriorating water quality of Lake Coeur d’Alene. Visit www.lakehealthcda.com for more information.

Their approach is not an effort to “call out” or place blame. Instead, they see it as “…an effort to encourage our community leaders to take the first step toward resolution by publicly acknowledging that we have a problem with our lake water quality.”
