Lake Drawdown 2024/2025

Hello Neighbors,

As a part of our lake management initiative, we will commence the lake drawdown on Monday, November 4th, 2024.

We anticipate a rapid decrease in the lake’s water level, due to a lack of rainfall. So this weekend please take the opportunity to prep any lakefront properties by pulling in the docks, etc.

This drawdown serves several essential purposes, with the primary one being the exposure of the lakebed during the winter (frost) season to prevent or control aquatic vegetation growth.

Additionally, this operation provides us with an ideal opportunity to conduct maintenance and restoration work on our beaches, boat launches, and riparian properties.

So please join us in the efforts of cleaning up your lakefront properties while the water is low.

We extend our gratitude to our dedicated lake management team for their efforts!

Sincerely,

-TLPOA Board

Update: November 13th 2024 all siphons are active and flowing (last week only one 12″ and one 6″ pipe was going due to fit issues with the second 12″ pipe – seen in the above image — and video at top — not flowing):
