Stop the Spread, Save the Lake

Stop the Spread. Save the Lake.

Dear Concerned Residents and Friends,

Our lake is under threat from rapidly spreading invasive w**ds that are choking waterways, damaging wildlife habitats, and making recreation difficult for everyone who enjoys this treasured
resource.
The annual herbicide treatment is essential to protect water quality, preserve property values, and ensure the lake remains safe and enjoyable for boating, swimming, fishing, and family recreation. All can contribute to the treatment of the lake, however the application is for NJ waterfront Homeowners only at this time. The Village does a separate treatment.
Unfortunately, funding is not available this year through the Commission or surrounding municipalities. Without treatment, invasive species can quickly take over, causing long-term
ecological damage that is far more costly to reverse.

**This lake belongs to all of us — homeowners, visitors, families, and outdoor enthusiasts. **

We are asking the community to come together and help fund this critical treatment. Every donation makes a difference. Your support will directly fund efforts to:

• Control invasive aquatic w**ds
• Protect wildlife and natural habitat
• Maintain safe recreational access
• Preserve the health and beauty of the lake

Time is critical — treatment must occur soon to be effective.
Please consider contributing and sharing this message with others who value our lake. Together, we
can protect this irreplaceable community resource.
As of now, our plan is to apply one application of herbicides to treat the w**ds, approximately
Early-May. The timing of the application depends on the w**d growth and weather conditions.

SAVE OUR LAKE BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!!

🚩 For NJ Waterfront Homeowners Only

PSA: The Next drawdown is scheduled for Late Fall 2026 - January 1, 2027.

Public meetings will start early next year for our constituents to voice their concerns. Lake level drawdowns often start in the fall and continue through the winter when water recreation uses are at their lowest. Drawdowns during the winter can dry and freeze the offending plants helping to control invasive species and to reduce ice damage to structures along the shoreline. Several repair items are often performed during this winter drawdown period.

More information to come for obtaining permits to have work done during the drawdown if granted.
