Back in the 80s, a big push was to extend the sewer lines to Alton to preserve the lake's cleanliness. The project ran out of money and ended up near Dinsmoor Point Road in Gilford. It is not over. It is still open and will continue to Alton in the future.

The project uses the old Lake Shore Railroad bed. Some folks had to move existing structures off the old bed. There weren't many as Gilford knows the state still has a right of way and prevents owners from building on it. Gilford still continues to prevent permanent structures on the right of way.
As for Alton, well I guess, that will be a fine mess along Rte. 11.

There are talks of using Biden's infrastructure bill to finish the project.
