Link to Village Code

The bodies of water within the Village of Tuxedo Park known as "Tuxedo Lake," "Pond No. 3" and "Wee Wah Lake" (herein the "lakes") are owned by the Village of Tuxedo Park. Tuxedo Lake is the primary source of domestic water supply for the residents of said Village, as well as the residents of the area within the Town of Tuxedo commonly referred to as "the hamlet." In the event of a water shortage, Pond No. 3 and Wee Wah Lake may, with proper treatment, be used to supplement the water supply from Tuxedo Lake. Adequate and suitable water for water supply, for domestic and other uses, is essential to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Village of Tuxedo Park and those residents of the Town of Tuxedo who receive their water supply from said Village. The unreasonable, uncontrolled and unnecessary interference with and disturbance of these bodies of water could create hazards to the health, safety and welfare of the persons who are dependent upon these bodies of water for domestic water-supply purposes.
