The Williamstown City Council and Williamstown Lake Association reached an agreement that will continue to allow bladder boats on Lake Williamstown.

Bladder boats are motorboats that are artificially filled with water or other liquid that are designed to create a large wake. These type of boats are popular with wakeboarders.

Opponents of bladder boats say they cause damage to docks and cause soil erosion.

 The issue was discussed on May 17 when an ordinance that would have banned bladder boats from the lake was tabled.
