Lake Clean-Up Event

About 50 people showed up to clean up the lake, from kids and parents to scouts and scuba divers. A few bags of trash were pulled out of the rocks lining the lake and the woods and brush near Route 120. Much of the garbage consisted of plastic bags, styrofoam cups and bait containers, cans and other debris. The Park District did a fabulous job of mobilizing citizen volunteers and local merchants to benefit the namesake of our village.

On May 3, 2011 Marine Biochemists treated the lake for selective removal of exotic millfoil and curlyleaf pondweed.

As a result water use restrictions are in effect. Do not swim or consume fish for 1 day after treatment and do not irrigate with lake water for 30 days after treatment.

In June, a second application will occur to selectively eradicate clasping leaf pondweed in response to resident requests.
