Premier Lakes says noise reduced at Masters Lake; plantings delayed pending Edgewater agreement
Summary
Premier Lakes reported routine lake maintenance, noted algae and removed a shoreline palm; a compressor cabinet reduced measured noise at Masters Lake from about 64 to 52 decibels, though staff said the aerator tone remains a concern. Plantings in Lake E4-A were postponed until the Edgewater Condominium Association agrees to a plan.
Bill Kurth of Premier Lakes told the board that the district’s lakes, preserves and dry-retention areas are in good condition overall but showed seasonal algae growth. He said a palm tree at the shoreline of Lake E7A was removed as part of routine upkeep.
Regarding a noise complaint at Masters Lake, Kurth said a cabinet installed around the compressor reduced measured sound levels from about 64 decibels to approximately 52 decibels at a midpoint between the compressor and the screen line. Operations Manager Shane Willis noted that, while measured decibels declined, the remaining issue appears to be the aerator’s tonal quality rather than overall volume; staff discussed moving the compressor and easement constraints and agreed to coordinate further investigation.
Chair Bob Schultz summarized additional concerns around flooding and littorals in Edgewater, recommending staff schedule a meeting with the Edgewater association representative (Tim Wilkin) to seek an acceptable solution. The board reached consensus that Canna lilies should not be planted and instructed staff to hold off on Lake E4-A plantings until an agreement with the Edgewater Condominium Association is reached.
