It's pretty good the Town of Meredith is taking an interest and not just defaulting any responsibility to the state considering the Bear Island location is remote to most of the town and occupied on a seasonal basis by people from away.

928-acre Lake Waukewan in Meredith, about 3/4 mile upstream from 44,586-acre Lake Winnipesaukee's meredith bay is reported to have experienced a cyanobacteria bloom in recent years as well, and Lake Waukewan is the source of water for the town's drinking water distribution system. Meredith has two large nursing home facilities as well as the central area of town that all get their water from Lake Waukewan after it gets treated and distributed by the Meredith Water Dept. so water quality can be pretty important.

Me personally? I'm close to Bear Island, Lake W. bacteria central, and get my water straight out of the lake, totally unfiltered and 100% proof, pure all-winnipesaukee, which is probably why my teeth are a brite green w/silt growing
