Citizens' group studies Lake Padden water quality

A citizens' group called People for Lake Padden has been conducting a series of tests of the recreational lake's water quality, hoping that the data will provide information for city and county officials to use as they regulate development in its watershed.
"Our focus is on prevention of future impacts, and to address the impacts that we see today," said David Roberts, a retired Washington Department of Natural Resources local assistant manager who is serving as science advisor to the group.
