‘I Care! For The Sake Of The Lake 2026 Stickers for Nonmotorized Watercraft
As Town of Columbia residents who enjoy Columbia Lake, we have a stewardship responsibility to protect the lake. One critical element is to prevent the introduction of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS). Inspection for AIS prior to launching any watercraft is the best prevention method. To further improve protection of the lake, the town is asking lakefront homeowners who launch nonmotorized watercraft from their properties as well as town residents who launch nonmotorized watercraft at the Town Beach when no inspectors are on duty, to participate in an educational and inspection program. By completing the educational component and submitting an ‘I Care! For the Sake of The Lake’ Pledge, the Resident agrees to perform AIS inspections on nonmotorized watercraft that the resident launches or that the resident allows to be launched on the lake. The program provides for ‘For The Sake of The Lake’ Stickers to be applied to each nonmotorized watercraft, demonstrating your commitment and care for the lake. Please see below 'For the Sake of the Lake' Packet.
