The Great Amenities
Candlewood Lake Since 1928
Stormwater Runoff
Bacteria Growth at Candlewood
Healthy Toxic
Hypothesis
The health of Candlewood Lake is determined by each municipality’s
regulations to limit negative influences of the lake ecosystem.
Impervious Surfaces
Septic Systems
Soil Erosion
Buffer
PredictionsNew Fairfield and Sherman does not have enough
policies to influence the lake’s health in a positive way.
New Milford has strong policies that would influence the lake in a positive way.
As for Brookfield and Danbury, I knew they had decent policies in place but I was unsure how influential they were.
Temperature and the amount of rainfall will influence the amount of beach closings
