It actually wasn’t. They used pressure treated materials that are still leeching heavy metals into the water. And the source for the city water is just down stream from it btw👌

It is not a private nor exclusive waterway. It is open to the public, which means you have as much right to be on there, water, skiing or swimming or doing whatever. As any other person
