Why save Canonsburg
lake?
Canonsburg Lake is a unique resource that residents and
visitors have enjoyed for over 60 years. Whether you fish,
bird watch, boat, or simply enjoy observing the peaceful
serenity that water provides, this lake holds special
meaning and countless memories. We must preserve this
history. The longer we postpone taking care of the lake
the more likely its condition will continue to
deteriorate. If nothing is done, it will cease to exist as
a body of water. You may be wondering what kind of damage
is occurring and what can be done. Please read on.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATIONS
The
restoration project was initiated by, and is overseen by the
Canonsburg Lake
Restoration and Improvement Committee, a small group
of dedicated citizens, formed in 2000 to bring attention to,
and find solutions for, the deteriorating condition of the
lake. The group is currently working on implementing items
identified in the master site development plan which was
completed in 2007, in addition to fund-raising efforts for
the local match. The committee operates under the auspices
of the Chartiers Creek Watershed Association, a member of
the Washington County Watershed Alliance.
The
Washington County Watershed Alliance (WCWA) was organized in
1998 to coordinate and enhance the efforts of
Washington
County’s watershed groups.
Tax-deductible donations and grants for the watershed groups
and for Alliance
projects are deposited in the WCWA accounts. WCWA is a
nonprofit (501c-3) organization, incorporated in the
Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania
and registered with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Charitable
Organizations.
The
purpose of the
Chartiers Creek Watershed Association is to enhance,
protect, and develop the ecosystem of the watershed in
Washington County by undertaking activities to: 1)study the
natural resources of the watershed; 2) develop a program to
improve and maintain the water resources of the watershed;
3) promote local interest in natural resource conservation;
4) involve local support to correct problem conditions; and
5) identify federal, state, and local programs (financial,
technical, and scientific) that would benefit the watershed.
