COVENTRY, R.I. -- The state Department of Environmental Management has told Coventry that a long awaited environmental cleanup of the bottoms of several bodies of water will begin next week, it was announced on Wednesday by Town Manager Thomas R. Hoover.
The cleanup will focus on Lake Tiogue, Little Lake Tiogue, and Little Lake George, Hoover said in a news release.
Water levels will be lowered.
Hoover suggested that this might be a good time for residents and businesses that border the lakes to perform work that would not otherwise be possible when the water levels are up.
