The Portage Lakes Advisory Council exists for persons interested in the well-being of the Portage Lakes and improving the quality of life within its watershed. Our mission is to:

Become an available resource to those who wish to learn more about the Portage Lakes while conducting educational programs to increase public awareness through communication with the local communities and government organizations. Discussion of issues that affect the Portage Lakes area shall provide an avenue for hearing concerns and ideas.

Promote both active and passive recreational use of the Portage Lakes that will enhance the quality of life and environment found throughout our communities. The Council endorses water quality improvement, wildlife and habitat preservation, conservation, pollution prevention, and noise reduction, law enforcement and safety patrols.

Evaluate the impact/success of projects and improvements strategies, consider possible follow-up activities, and make recommendations that help ensure the value added for the community or facility.

By fulfilling its mission, the Portage Lakes Advisory Council will make a significant and positive contribution to the Portage Lakes community and government agencies.
