The objective of this association is to protect and/or improve the water quality of Long Pond; to stabilize and protect the water level; to preserve Long Pond's status as a complete recreational body of water; and in general protect the property rights, secure mutual benefits and promote the general welfare of its members.
On January 24, 1999 an article in the Brockton Enterprise states that the Long Pond Association is pushing for a ban on motor boats on Long Pond in order to prevent the spread of Fanwort.
In fact, the petitions to the Selectmen in both Lakeville and Freetown have absolutely NO backing of the Long Pond Association or its Board of Directors. The petitions are the sole efforts of Connie Tuffile of Parkhurst, who by coincidence, along with her husband are members of the Association and are on the Board of Directors.
January 25 UPDATE:
The newspaper reporter acknowledges that he made incorrect assumptions,
and will be writing an article to correct the errors.
The green in the adjoining map shows the areas of weed infestation
in the Roundsvel Cove area of the Lake. This is one of the areas
that is being petitioned to have motor boats banned.
