LAKE TREATMENT
As of Thursday, May 23rd, all the lakes except Long Ridge Lake have been treated with algaecide to eradicate the algae. Nature Works will be back the week of June 3rd to apply herbicide to eradicate the vegetation. There is a two-week period between treatments to allow the lakes to regain stable oxygen levels. The dead algae and plant matter both effect the water’s oxygen levels and aquatic wildlife needs stable oxygen.
The access point to Long Ridge Lake will be repaired to allow for treatment as of June 3rd.
Lakes have been treated 7/8/24
POOL 1 COPING REPAIR:
Funds have been allocated, project has not been put out for bid until we can determine the condition of the base of the pool.
POOL 1 TENNIS COURTS:
Funds have been allocated, additional funds required, condition of court is very poor and its been recommended to fully replace court.
CLUBHOUSE:
Actively working on rebuilding clubhouse. Land Development permit needs to be obtained before moving forward with project. JHA is expected to present our plans to Delaware Township Planning Commission in April 2023. *Update* We had meeting with MKSD (Architect) and JHA (Land development) – plans will now be submitted at the June meeting. We are hopeful to have approval by August, at which point MKSD will put the project out to bid. We have been provided rough figures on cost of rebuild, this will give us a starting point on coordinating and securing funding to move forward with a new clubhouse. (6/21/23) We have been provided the land development application for review and signature, to submit to the township planning commission. (10/10/23) We have engaged a septic design engineer to provide the required information to us to submit with the land development application. The architects would like to put this project out to bid Spring 2024, granted we secure funding.
UPDATE (1/29/24) Several components of this project have been done or are in progress; the sewage testing has been completed by Dadio and located by the surveyors from JHA. Sewage Design Plans have been drafted for the Sewage Permit Application. JHA, the project engineer, is coordinating with the Pike County Conservation District (PCCD) to hopefully avoid the NPDES, because it is a long, painful, permit process.
There are a few different scenarios, best case, worse case (but not worst case) scenarios; if PCCD does not require the NPDES and if they do. There are a total of 4 scenarios, best case scenario, will have all design plans and applications approved by early Summer 2024, bid process and bid acceptance completed by early to mid Fall 2024, construction commences Winter 2025 and completed 9-12 months. The longest “worse” case scenario includes the time to obtain a required NPDES, delaying the bid, estimated construction delays forecasts a completion date in 2027.
There are many variables outside of our (WALPOA) control that the likely reality is that the actual length of duration of the project will be somewhere in between the “best” and “worse” cases.

Three nests were on the main lake, one nest on North Lake, and one nest on Sand-spring Lake. (6/21/23) Update: Will be returning today to assess if a roundup of geese will be necessary. (6/23/23) They will be returning next week to round up approximately 12 geese.
