Keeping our Lake Healthy
Two Weed Treatments Planned for This Summer

This will be discussed in more detail at the Annual meeting. Check the June newsletter for findings and meeting outcomes.

2021 - In preparation to control lake weeds exposed by low water, we will be piloting a second weed treatment in June in addition to the 2-4-D treatment of previous years. Both treatments should be completed in June. Watch the website and emailed communications, we will advise of No boating/swimming days, as always, your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
GOAL - Savin Lake Services, LLC will treat the lake

  1. To reduce the invasive Eurasian Milfoil beds and

  2. Keep native weeds low in the water with a second treatment

  3. So members can enjoy our private all sports lake

2021 Water Level? Bring the Rain!

Pine Lake’s water levels are low due to low rainfall this spring and limited snow this winter, compared to prior years. Please note the amount of aquatic weeds in the navigable waters may increase this summer due to lower water levels, and increased sun hitting the weeds. In preparation, the Board has planned two SAVIN aquatic weed treatments. These will be reviewed at our May 6, 2021 7:00 p.m. annual meeting via ZOOM, and hopefully will assist in reducing the aquatic weeds, particularly in the boat lanes. As in prior years, emails will go out to members specifying the two SAVIN treatment days during which we ask there be no boat operation on these treatment days on Pine Lake.

Thank you for your help & cooperation.
Continue doing that RAIN DANCE!
