Lake Vermilion Clean Up Day

Aqua Illinois, Inc., in partnership with the Lake Vermilion Water Quality Coalition, has announced the annual “Lake Vermilion Clean-Up Day” on Friday, May 31, from 8 a.m. until approximately noon.

This clean-up day will focus on removing debris in and around the lake, such as barrels, trash, runaway dock floats, as well as shoreline cleanup.

Residents living on the lake who would like debris removed from their shoreline are encouraged to bag, box or neatly pile the items for removal and place them in a visible area. Organizations and individuals interested in volunteering their services are greatly appreciated.

Participants are asked to meet at the Vermilion County Conservation District’s boat-trailer parking lot, 2607 Denmark Road, no later than 8 a.m. and wear appropriate clothing for the job. Gloves will be provided, and participants will be treated to donuts and refreshments before work begins. Lunch will also be served for all participants upon completion.

In the event of rain, a rescheduled date is set for June 7.

For those interested in participating or with any questions, contact Cory Booher, plant manager at Aqua Illinois, Inc. at (217) 443-8541 ext. 58123.
