Village Use of Wee Wah Lake

Posted July 24, 2021

According to Village Code Village residents and property owners cannot fish or bathe, swim, wade, or otherwise immerse themselves in the Wee Wah Lake unless they are a member or guest of the Wee Wah Fishing Club or Wee Wah Beach Club.

The Board, during their July meeting, unanimously authorized the Village Attorney to rewrite the Code to allow Village Residents the use of Wee Wah Lake without having to be a member of the WWFC or WWBC. There is a Public Hearing scheduled for Wednesday, August 18, 2021, at the Village Hall and by Zoom.
