Should gas motors be allowed on Nutting Lake?
September 28, 2008
A petition by select Billerica citizens to change the current bylaws to allowing gas motorboats on Nuttings lake up to 30-horsepower motors is being presented before the Billerica Town Board at the Annual Fall Town Meeting (Tuesday Oct 7, 2008 at 7:00pm).
Some people believe that we should allow people to put jet skis and boats in Nutting Lake. We should allow taxpayers of Masachusetts to bring in their recreational watercrafts and enjoy the lake!
Others believe that the lake is way to small to have boats and jet skis flying around. They leak fuel, disturb the wildlife and create an annoying amount of noise pollution! They banned them years ago for this reason. If we as community truly believe in being a green community, why would we allow this? It’s not good!
How do you feel?
Please
