TRI-LAKES MANAGEMENT DISTRICT
TOWN OF ROME, WISCONSIN
What is the Tri-Lakes Management District
The Tri-Lakes Management District was formed in 1984 by property owners of the three lake associations – Lakes Arrowhead, Camelot and Sherwood in the Town of Rome, located in northern Adams County. A statutory taxing body, the District is guided by a board of five commissioners, one from each lake association plus one representative from the Town of Rome Board and one from the Adams County Board.
Mission
The MISSION of the Tri-Lakes Management District is to pursue activities that positively impact the cleanliness and health of our lake community.
Primary responsibilities of the District include
- Work with Wisconsin DNR and Adams County Land and Water Conservation departments to implement best management practices to maintain and improve lake water quality and quantity
- Operate weed harvesting operations on the lakes
- Coordinate and fund Water Testing on the lakes and Upper Watershed to provide scientific data pertaining to lake water quality
- Implement a Clean Boats, Clean Waters program at the public boat landings to educate on the importance of controlling and/or preventing the spread of Aquatic Invasive Species
- Manage a Sanitary Inspection program for all septic systems installed in the district prior to July 1, 1992
- Distribute Barley Straw bags in the spring to help inhibit algae growth on the lakes
Purpose of the site
We invite you to explore our website to gain a better understanding of our water issues – everything from quantities of water available to groundwater levels to water quality. We will be a conduit to our whole community with factual information presented and expect to communicate our concerns for our lakes while working towards solutions. Tri-Lakes works hard to further awareness of environmental threats to our lakes community.
