What's New on the Lake?
- Invasive Weed Treatment Program: Steve Hansen from PLM Lake & Land Management gave a great presentation on the Lake Fenton invasive weed treatment program at our August 13 board meeting. Read how the program is working and his answers to commonly asked questions about the program. The LFPOA supports the Lake Special Assessment District (SAD) to pay for invasive weed treatment. Learn more about SAD here.
- Our lake is cleaner than in the past. Phosphorus levels affect the growth of algae. Thanks to residents using low-phosphorus fertilizer near the lakeshore, phosphorus levels in the lake are so low they barely register.
- E. Coli Test Results. We’re done weekly testing for the season, but our spring nest destruction programs are having an impact on E. Coli levels. Click this link for our weekly E. Coli reports, click sample results, click historical results, then scroll down to 2010 before we began spring goose and nest destruction. Many people don't realize we used to have to close the beach for swimming.
- Fireworks Update. Mark your calendars! We’re in the process of finalizing the contract to have shows on Saturday July 5, 2025, Saturday July 4, 2026 and Saturday July 3, 2027. Each display promises to be better than the year before!
- Weed Control SAD Renewal. The Fenton Township Board decided in August to update the 5-year lake-wide Special Assessment District (SAD) for weed control to determine who will pay for it. For the last 10 years it’s been based on the number of riparian lots on the lake. At the recommendation of the LFPOA in 2026 it will include additional shares for commercial marinas, commercial (non-rented) docks, and will remove any non-riparian lots. The average yearly cost for the 5 year program per parcel will be $56.79.
