Sample Letter for the Mayor, Council, and others
Dear Mayor Johnston,
I am writing to express my deep concern about the deteriorating condition of Sloan's Lake, highlighted by the alarming fish die-off this past weekend. This cherished natural resource is essential for our community's recreation and well-being, but it is clearly in trouble.
The lake's water quality has been declining with increasing algae blooms, and decreasing depth of the lake down to only 3 feet on average! The lake is in danger of stagnating and immediate action is needed to address these issues.
I urge you to Lead The Way. We need the federal, state and local governments and departments to work together on a plan for dredging this amazing lake now, not in 10 years.
I vote on this issue, and hope you hear our call to action. Your leadership can restore Sloan's Lake to its former health and ensure it remains a valuable part of our community.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
Sincerely,
Get Involved
Sloan's Lake is struggling
We can do something about it. The lake has filled in over the last several decades, and without action, it will never be useable by residents and visitors to Denver.
Currently no boating is allowed, and no swimming for you or your dogs!
Join us in making the restoration of Sloan's Lake a priority for the Mayor and City Council, and vote for those candidates who support the water!
