THE FOLLOWING IS AN AQUA ILLINOIS RELEASE
Danville, Ill.– (May 15, 2024) Aqua Illinois, Inc., in partnership with the Lake Vermilion Water Quality Coalition, is proud to announce the annual “Lake Vermilion Clean-Up Day,” on Friday, May 31, 2024, from 8:00 a.m. until approximately noon. This event aligns with the company’s mission of protecting and providing Earth’s most essential resources. It is dedicated to enhancing the natural beauty and overall cleanliness of Lake Vermilion and its surrounding area, a vital natural resource in Vermillion County.
This clean-up day will focus on removing debris in and around the lake, such as barrels, trash, runaway dock floats, as well as shoreline cleanup. Residents living on the lake who would like debris removed from your shoreline are encouraged to bag, box, or neatly pile the items for removal and place them in a visible area. Organizations and individuals interested in volunteering their services are greatly appreciated.
Participants are asked to meet at the Vermilion County Conservation District’s boat-trailer parking lot, 2607 Denmark Road, no later than 8:00 am and wear appropriate clothing for the job. Gloves will be provided, and participants will be treated to donuts and refreshments before work begins. Lunch will also be served for all participants upon completion.
