Watershed Survey Final Results

Unity Pond’s water quality is impacted by pollution from numerous small, diffuse sources across the pond’s watershed. When rain and snowmelt flow across land, they pick up soil, nutrients and other pollutants. This is known as “nonpoint source” pollution (NPS) and is the primary threat to most lakes in Maine.

Click the link below for the Final Report of the Unity Pond Watershed Survey, which was conducted in 2021. The report provided our members with insight regarding the sources of pollution around the watershed, a list of properties that have been identified as potential risks, as well as suggestions on how to rectify the issues found.

Remember, the entire Lake Winnecook community is responsible for protecting our watershed.
