Currently, the five towns around the lake -- plus First Light Power Resources Inc., the hydroelectric power utility that owns the lake -- each contribute about $60,000 a year to the Candlewood Lake Authority. A good share of that money -- about $150,000 -- pays for the boat patrols that enforce safety rules on the lake.
I would have to agree with the mayor of New Milford on this one. She disagrees with the tax as do many. Candlewood lake authority recieves 360,000.00 yearly and only 150,000.00 goes towards patrols. I would like to know what the other 210,000.00 is being used for.
