HP Limit

[b.howell]

How many people here would be interested in trying to get the city to raise the horsepower limit on Fellows Lake from 40HP to 60HP. I love that lake but I want to explore the lake more and not just from the bank.

Good luck with trying for it

Good luck also - C.U. would rather no one used their WATER.

I agree, good luck trying to get a company that cares only about making money, to change something that does not benefit them at all.  Good idea tho.

it's not the HP, it is the wake, which I would assume why this idiotic law is in place.  And a 40 HP on a tub can make wakes just as big as other boats.  If 40HP is what the powers to be want, then higher HP boats should be limited to idle only.  Then everyone could enjoy a public resource semi equally.

Springfield City Utilities. They are the only ones that can make any change.

I looked on the website for a contact about it. I will dig deeper on my lunch hour.

When I was trying to get them to budge on float tubes I just sent an email to their customer service department. It took a little bit but a lady that was over such things did contact me. I don't still have her name or contact or I would share it. Hopefully she's not there anymore because she was less than helpful. Good luck.

Good luck - they won't budge off of 6 HP for Springfield or 40 for Fellows - I know someone who has been pestering them for 20 years.
