Lake Leota's future on docket for city

From the Janesville Gazette

...Residents will get that chance Tuesday at a formal presentation by Vierbicher Associates of a plan to restore the lake, drained in 2006, to a recreational destination.

Friday, Vierbicher and the city released a summary of the restoration plan, which could cost between $1.7 million and $2.6 million.

The cost hinges on where the city deposits about 200,000 cubic yards of lakebed material. If local landowners allow the material to be deposited on their property, the cost will be much lower than if the city has to transport the material to distant quarries, the plan states.
