Owasco Lake Watershed Inspection and Protection Division Working to protect the drinking water quality for over 45,000 people in the Auburn, NY area.

The Owasco Lake Watershed Inspection and Protection Division (OLWIPD) was established in August of 2007 when funding was secured by Senator Nozzolio. In January of 2008, the City of Auburn and Town of Owasco implemented measures to sustain the program. Through their efforts, OLWIPD is funded by more than 44,000 people who rely on safe drinking water from Owasco Lake every day. These 44,000+ people include municipal water users within the City of Auburn and Town of Owasco, as well as many others in neighboring communities. The Division is managed by the Owasco Lake Watershed Management Council (OLWMC).

We are having a lake friendly living on May 9th. It includes picking up roadside litter then meeting at Emerson Park to clean the beaches and then lunch. If you can't make it to Emerson Park, email a picture of the litter you collected, and I will put it on a picture board.
