The Owasco Lake Watershed Rules and Regulations Update Project is an important water quality initiative being undertaken by the Owasco Lake Watershed Management Council.

The project goal is to update and revise the 1984 Owasco Lake Watershed Rules and Regulations, through a thoughtful and engaged public participation process resulting in effective and equitable watershed regulations that will help to improve, protect and preserve water quality within Owasco Lake and it’s 205-square mile watershed for the benefit of current and future generations.
