Let’s Make it Clean, Not Green!
We Have a Winner!
Out of 41 submissions, we are thrilled to announce that Donna Gillette, of Corinth and Unity submitted the winning name for Phase III of the Unity Pond Watershed Restoration.

Internal Loading Study Results
Leveraging the funds received through a grant from the John Sage Foundation, as well as in-kind donations, & support form the ME. DEP an analysis of lake sediment was conducted. One of the next steps in the Watershed-Based Management Plan (WBMP). Please click on the button below to view the study.
Watershed Survey: Final Report
The link below will display the Final Report of the Unity Pond Watershed Survey, which was conducted last year. The report will provide 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.
The protection of the watershed should be an effort undertaken and supported by the entire Lake Winnecook community, especially after the announcement by the Maine DEP regarding the PFAS contamination.
