  • CASPIAN LAKE BEACH IS OK FOR SWIMMING

    The new test results came back from the State of Vermont and the beach as Caspian Lake is very suitable for swimming.

  • GREENSBORO SWIMMING LESSONS POSTPONED

    We have been notified that due to high bacteria levels in the water, Caspain Lake will be closed until further testing shows that the water is safe for swimming. To ensure the safety of our swimmers and instructors, we have rescheduled the Caspian Lake Swim Program for the week of August 21st.

    Disaster-Relief Scam Prevention

    From the Vermont Attorney General’s Consumer Assistance Program:

    Scammers often strike in the aftermath of natural disasters, taking advantage of community generosity and our heightened emotional state. Be on the lookout and report disaster-related scams, including:

    GOVERNMENT IMPOSTER RELIEF SCAMS, in which a scammer may claim to be FEMA or another government organization offering help for a fee, or demanding your personal information.
    Avoid this scam: Connect with FEMA directly and follow updates from the Governor and Vermont Emergency Management.

    PHONY CHARITIES that claim to be recovery efforts when they are not.
    Avoid this scam: Do your research and only give to valid charities that you have thoroughly researched and vetted.

    DUBIOUS CONTRACTORS without business credentials that claim they can restore damages immediately, requiring upfront payment, but never return to complete the work.
    Avoid this scam: Never pay in full upfront for a home improvement project. Make sure you have a written contract. Check residential contractor registration status with the Secretary of State’s Office of Professional Regulation.

    UTILITY DISCONNECTION SCAMS demand payment along with threats to disconnect the consumer’s services.
    Avoid the scam: Hang up and contact your utility provider directly about your account status, using a number you know to be valid.

    When you encounter an unexpected or new interaction, take steps to verify whether it may be a scam by slowing down, logging the contact, reaching out to others and doing research. Warn others about scams by reporting the scams you encounter to the Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) at 800-649-2424 or online at http://ago.vermont.gov/cap.
