(New Buffalo, MI) - With the water levels in Lake Michigan at elevated levels, the city of New Buffalo is working to keep people off its Breakwall by building a fence to deter individuals from wondering on to the rocks adjacent to the Breakwall.

Parks Director, Kristen D’Amico, says permission was given by the U.S Army Corps of

Engineers to erect the fence.  D'Amico states different types of fencing are being considered for the project.  Whatever fence is chosen will feature a gate that can be opend during an emergency or for maintainence work that The U.S Army Corps of Engineers will do at the site.  

Water levels in Lake Michigan are predicted to rise by another foot this year.  The goal is to have the fence erected before traffic along the lake increases in this summer.
