Who we are
We are the organization that “Saved the Island” from further erosion. If you have not yet ventured to party island this year, you will notice a significant change since last summer. This project was completed over the winter. The concept to save the island which is owned by Citizens Energy Group was started over 2 years ago by our MWA Board of Directors. We developed the plan and worked with the former Indianapolis Water Company to obtain the necessary permits from IDEM and US Corps of Engineers and completed the project with Citizens Energy Group. Final cost of the project was approximately $22,000. All funds were raised through donations.
What we do
We are also the volunteers who each year haul tons of trees, trash and brush from the reservoir at our Annual Lake Cleanup. For the past 7 years, we have averaged 10-12 dump truck loads of debris with each annual cleanup effort. Our gratitude goes out to the towns of Cicero and Noblesville and to Hamilton County who assist with the cleanup and hauling away. Without these partnerships, we would not be able to accomplish this task each year. Our cleanup efforts make for safer boating, tubing, skiing and fishing while helping to protect our boats and PWC’s from damage.
