During periods of high water on Lake Moraine the maximum speed on any power water craft shall be 5 mph. High water shall be determined when water has risen 6 inches above the water mark reading taken from the two markers that are located at the culvert on the causeway on the north end of Lake Moraine and at the dam on the south end of the lake, which water marks are set at 1211.0 feet above sea level.

 

Upon reaching the high water level, the Town of Madison Offices will be notified by a Board Member of the Lake Moraine Association. Signs will be temporarily posted at key locations along with posting of the speed restriction on the lake website, www.lakemoraineny.org. The Communication Coordinator of the Lake Moraine Association shall also announce the restricted speed limits to persons on the lake and surrounding the lake by means of electronic communication with the words to the effect: "By order of the Town of Madison, no watercraft shall exceed 5 mph during the period of high water."
