Mr. David Campo
Re: Mooring and Pulley Pole Rate Increase Request
Mr. Campo,
The Waterford Harbor Management Commission has found the East Lyme Harbor/Shellfish
Commission has again raised their rates for moorings in the waters of East Lyme effective
for the 2026 season (See attached minutes from their September 16, 2025 meeting, “Old
Business”, Item F). Those waters include the Niantic River as well as Niantic Bay. The
Niantic River is a shared resource between East Lyme and Waterford. In the interest of
parity, the Waterford Harbor Management Commission would like to raise the rates for
moorings and pulley poles in all Waterford areas to match the rates instituted in East Lyme.
Our current and proposed rates are as follows:
Current Rates:
New Mooring or Pulley Pole Rate
Renewal Mooring or Pulley Pole Rate
Proposed Rates:
New Moorings or Pulley Poles - $125.00 per year
Renewing Moorings and Pulley Poles $100.00 per year
$100.00 per year
$ 75.00 per year
1
| would like to present this information to the Waterford Representative Town Meeting and
ask for their approval to increase our mooring and pulley pole rates to stay at parity with the
East Lyme Harbo/Shellfish Commission.
