In an effort to try and alleviate problems with boats and Sea-Doos in Lake Erie at Erieau’s beach, the municipality is looking for possible solutions to keep swimmers safe.
At tonight’s Chatham-Kent council meeting, an information report will come to council that will outline different options for the installation of buoys and other safety devices.
After many close calls between boats and swimmers, the buoys are seen as a good option to keep everyone safe by physically restricting watercraft where people are swimming.
The report outlines the costs for the safety devices as well as staff and maintenance costs.
