Lake Lovers,
Thank you to the many generous and committed families who have made gifts to the Lake Restoration Project. We have three year gifts/pledges of about $1.2 million toward our 5 year goal of $1.58 million. You can read more of the detail of the project in the many links below.
The equipment has all been installed, the compressors are all working and the 77 diffusers were pumping air all over the lake. NOTE: THE DIFFUSERS ARE CURRENTLY TURNED OFF FOR THE WATER TESTING TO COME IN MARCH! The date for the first Bio-augmentation will be hsared soon.
We are still hoping that more families will get on board to ensure a complete five year project funding. Again, there is a pledge form below.
All gifts are kept in a separate financial account controlled by a separate non-profit board, to protect these gifts.
Again, thanks to all those who are investing in making our lake healthy.
Mike Schwartze & Ed Weston

We love this lake and this community. We are here to stay and want to do what we can to help.
