The Candlewood Lake Authority is asking the five towns that surround the lake for money in order to replace two of their four patrol boats.  The New Milford Town Council was told this week the Authority is seeking $60,000 from each town.  There's been increased traffic on Candlewood due to more people staying closer to home because of the pandemic and the CLA has had to tow more vessels, putting a strain on their resources.  There were more than 600 calls for service this season and 13 accidents reported.  CLA officials says that's nearly triple last year’s  number.  They made 67 public safety assists and responded to 20 disorderly conduct or breach of peace incidents.  Noise complaints are not included in those figures.  New Fairfield, New Milford and Sherman asked for more information.  The request will be presented to Brookfield and Danbury soon.
