“Curses! Foiled again!”
As the lake turns to mud many folks have been asking about stagnant water and the
likely mosquito problem this will create.
In anticipation of this potential activity the county (with state guidance) has treated our
wetland system with a larvicide. Mosquito breeding will be monitored from the spillway
to the far end of the western wetlands by weekly tests and foiled by monthly treatments.
Also: The path on the impoundment (the back berm) has been closed until further
notice. A pump is now at work eight hours a day to siphon off the remaining water and
the fish are being relocated to a private lake this week. A fish-out is no longer possible
due to shoreline conditions.
Plus: Several residents have reported seeing a mama turtle laying eggs in a yard blocks
from the lake. We’ve been advised by turtle experts (and common sense) to leave them
alone.
