Elder Ln Beach - New Survey for Winnetka and friends

Hello beachgoers! 
There’s a new survey circulating about the very concerning issue of water contamination at Elder Lane beach:  Link to Survey 

It specifically involves stormwater pollution & no separation of the dog and human beaches.

From the Dept of Energy & Environment: 

”Pollutants in stormwater may include antifreeze, grease, oil, and heavy metals from cars; fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals from gardens, homes and businesses; bacteria from pet wastes and failing septic systems; and sediment from poor construction site practices.”
