The purchase, which will cost nearly $175,000, will keep LMCD's fleet at three harvesters. Replacing the harvester has two main benefits. It provides the tools to move forward on milfoil harvesting this year, and it takes advantage of the insurance money, said Chris Jewett, LMCD board member. In replacing the harvester, the insurance company gives the LMCD about twice as much, or nearly $65,000, versus selling it.
