During the 1st quarter meeting of the St. Joseph River Basin Commission (SJRBC) Board of Directors last Thursday, 3/1, Randy Sexton, Noble County Surveyor presented a request on behalf of the Noble County Commissioners and West Lakes, to see if the SJRBC would sponsor 1/2 the cost of reactivating our Waldron Lake Gauge that was deactivated several years ago (due to funding cuts by IDNR). The USGS pays half and the DNR was paying the other half. The SJRBC agreed to begin funding our gauge. We will be working with Randy Sexton and USGS to get this reactivated ASAP and to potentially add features other than just height! This will be a much more reliable measure for us to monitor activities influencing our West Lakes Chain.
