We are pleased to let you know that our collective efforts have been recognized by the Select Board and that they are putting the steps in place to administer an interim alum treatment for Crystal Lake late this Spring. Significantly, over 300 Orleans residents signed our petition calling for action, including all 35 of the Crystal Lake abutters we were able to contact. Our online petition has garnered over 1300 signatures! Members of the FOCL Board and two Nauset High Seniors presented the petition and case for a swift response on January 17th. You can read about it in the Cape Cod Chronicle January 25th edition. Here’s the link: https://capecodchronicle.com/articles/441/view
