Federal agency to personally survey Congamond Lake for flood mitigation plan

SOUTHWICK – The federal Natural Resources Conservation Service will hire a consultant to conduct a boat-on-the-ground study of Congamond Lake to come up with a flood plan.

“They are in the final stages of hiring a consultant to work on site,” Richard Grannells of the city’s Lake Management Committee said at a recent committee meeting.

“They got the funding for it,” he said of the consulting work that would likely begin in late spring or early summer.
