for the reservoir, among other problems. According to the PFBC, the estimated cost for repairs to the dam is $83 million, but no funding exists for this maintenance, either. Silting problems Like many other aging artificial lakes, Canonsburg Lake has a problem with silting raising the bed of the lake. This process has already made some parts of the lake unnavigable, and if left untreated by dredging, it may ultimately make the lake unusable by boaters. A dredging program would cost approximately $3 million, but no funding exists to implement one. There is a website that has been created to raise the funds coordinated by local residents who live on the lake. Visit Save Canonsburg Lake for more information on how to help.
