MISSION STATEMENT

The Clear Pond Water Association, Inc. (CPWA) is a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization created to protect, maintain, and enhance the waters of Clear Pond. CPWA has been established by a group of concerned neighbors surrounding Clear Pond.  CPWA encourages residents to take an active interest in the health of Clear Pond, restore and protect the Pond’s habitats, improve water quality by taking actions to understand, eliminate and prevent pollution, and to undertake regular testing of pond water quality.

Our mission is:

• To protect Clear Pond for current and future generations

• To build and support responsible stewardship of our fragile ecosystems

• To be a resource for environmental education critical to the health and enjoyment of Clear Pond

• To be a voice with local and state authorities for support of the Association’s initiative

Clear Pond is 13.6 acres of spring feed water that in the last three years has shown high levels of cyanobacteria blooms, a blue-green algae which can be harmful to people and animals.  Sometimes this bloom occurs below the water and you cannot see it.  The bloom could be the result of any number of causes:  fertilizer runoff, septic tank overflow, seepage from the old cranberry bog, etc.

The Clear Pond Water Association is for environmental protection to ensure our neighbors can enjoy Clear Pond by being responsible stewards.

The good news is that it isn’t too late to proactively monitor Clear Pond prior to the summer season.  Going forward, the Clear Pond Water Association will continue to seek knowledge and assistance in restoring Clear Pond as a natural resource.  The Association will keep all our neighbors informed as we move toward this goal.
