Get educated on lake's low water

Editor, the Gazette:
Perhaps it is time for the uneducated people on this matter, as well as state officials and judges, to take the time to personally visit the shores of Lake Koshkonong and see the piers that extend out 150plus feet in the water.

Perhaps it is time for everyone to speak with the rescue squads and understand how their efforts are hindered by the low water.

Perhaps it is time for everyone to be fully educated on this matter and understand that lake habitat will improve with higher water levers. Water clarity will improve. Wetland areas will be more robust.

Perhaps it is time to raise the water level 7 inches.
