Dear Waterford Lake associations:

As you may be aware, the Waterford Planning Board has been reviewing whether to further regulate docks/piers on the water bodies in Waterford by adjusting the Waterford Shore Land Zoning Ordinances with language that would restrict dock length and placement.

Instead, after considerable debate, the Planning Board has elected, for the time being, to introduce a new dock permit application which includes new guidelines for dock installations. These guidelines call for docks to be no more than 100 feet long, six feet wide, and for placement to set back five feet from property line boundary lines as those lines are extended from the shore out into the water.

Please see the attached Waterford Dock Permit Application for more detail regarding these guidelines.

Best Regards,
Charles W. Tarbell, Secretary
