Dams Committee meeting

The Dams Committee will meet at 4 p.m. Monday, March 8, at the Rome Town Office, 8 Mercer Road in Rome.

The Dams Committee is an inter-local group of volunteers appointed to serve by the participating municipalities of Belgrade, Oakland, Rome, Sidney and Mount Vernon. Committee members oversee the maintenance and operation of Belgrade's three dams: Long Pond/Wings Mills, Great Pond/Village, and Salmon Lake. At its monthly meetings, the committee discusses lake  levels, maintenance and operations of the dams, and possible recommendations to municipal officials. The Town of Belgrade is responsible for 48 percent of the costs of the dams.
