« Wednesday, August 10, 1994 ;/ 2. SES Aug. 10, 1994 Council has decided to pass a bylaw prohibiting soap in the water. The township will sign the lake and the bylaw officer will enforce the regulation. "This (shampooing) is regarded as a source of contamination to the water quality of Little Lake and should be discourâ€" aged," the letter read. The health unit‘s letter further stated that it would "support" Cramahe‘s initiative in such an effort. The health unit‘s response, read at the July 18 meeting, was that the township council has the power to pass a bylaw and sign the lake, warning against such uses. In answer to a request from a delegation of Little Lake Ratepayers, the township sent a letter a few weeks ago to the local health unit, asking that signs be erected to protect the lake from soap or shampoo pollutants. Cramahe Township council has learned it is empowered to act to preâ€" vent pollution of Little Lake by persons washing themselves or their aniâ€" mals in the water.
