     The water quality monitoring program instituted in1983 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been reinstated by the Town of Delavan.   In February, the Town approved a proposal from the USGS to restart the program after a two year hiatus.    On   Thursday, March 15, USGS employee, Ben Siebers, undertook the initial sampling called for in the new agreement.      The monitoring program calls for testing for some 25 physical, chemical, and biological parameters.  Samples will be taken from three Lake locations.  These locations will be identified by GIS technology and use advanced sampling and testing equipment.  The samples will be collected from three different depths at each site using rigorous USGS testing protocols.      The overall in-lake water quality monitoring program was designed by USGS Chief Hydrologist Dale Robertson with input from Mr. Peter Berrini of HDR Inc.  HDR is the firm retained by the Town of Delavan to provide advice and guidance on Lake questions and

     Here is the opportunity to own a lakefront cottage with spectacular views and a boat slip right out the front door.  Located in the Viewcrest Subdivision at Delavan Lake's northwest end, this carefree home offers an open concept living area with wood floors in the kitchen and dining area, one full bath, and a large great room/sleeping area.       Listed as "open concept", we really mean "open".  It is more of a studio apartment feel with the bedroom morphed into part of the living room.  The home does need a little sprucing up, although it has newer windows and the wood floors are in good condition.      But that's not the point.  You get great lake views, a private boat slip, two-car garage and a private back patio all for less than $180,000.      Viewcrest is a well run association and offers a boat launch, swim pier and beach area for residents as well.     For a couple or single individual looking for that lakefront deal.   It just arrived.
