EURASIAN MILFOIL UPDATE; BOAT USAGE

6/8/2023

Thursday June 8, 2023

It doesn’t yet look like the Milfoil has dropped below boat
propeller depth. We are therefore asking that you do not take
your power boats out just yet. We know this is frustrating, but
we are dealing with mother nature and need to pay attention if
we’re to properly protect the pond. Let’s give it to Saturday,
June 17 th - Please inspect the water before you take the boat
out to make sure you won’t be chopping the plants up.
Thanks for your patience!
