Safety and rules
The lake is deep in many places, and accidents have mostly happened when boats capsized. A few simple rules keep you safe.
Emergency: call 112. Say you are at Lacul Surduc, Fârdea commune, and describe the nearest landmark.
ISU Timiș crews were announced at the lake on weekends. To be confirmed

- Do not swim after drinking alcohol, and do not dive where you do not know the depth.
- Children stay in the water only with an adult next to them.

Rubbish
- Take your rubbish with you or use the bins only.

- Seen dumped rubbish? Report it.
Quiet and nature
- People live in the houses and cabins along the shore: keep music at a volume that does not disturb them.
- The lake and the forests around it are a protected natural area. Do not cut trees or disturb birds.
