The Fayette County government is announcing its third event for local residents with kayaks and canoes to assist with cleaning water reservoirs.  The program is called Water Guardians and the lake cleanup will occur Saturday, Aug. 13, 8:45-11 a.m. at Lake McIntosh reservoir in Peachtree City.

Please arrive by 8:45 a.m. in the boat dock parking lot off of TDK Blvd. Each new volunteer that registers with waterguardians@fayettecountyga.gov by Aug. 1 will be given a Water Guardian T-shirt at sign-in to wear during the event. If you are a previous participant and have a Water Guardian T-shirt, please wear it to the cleanup.

Each volunteer will be provided a trash grabber, trash bags and bottled water. Please note that a liability waiver will be sent to all volunteers and must be completed in order to participate. This also applies to previous volunteers. Please remember to bring your waiver, life vest, sunscreen and a hat the day of the event. In the case of rain, all registered participants will be notified via email with a rescheduled time and date.

Thanks to the generous support of the Fayette County Water System and our volunteers, we will be hosting a cookout after the cleanup. Please plan to stay and enjoy burgers, hot dogs, and other treats.

To register for this event, send an email to WaterGuardians@fayettecountyga.gov and include your name, daytime phone number, contact email address and T-shirt size.

In the event of rain, a makeup date will be given by email.
