CDD hears lake maintenance update; compressor noise reduced but tone remains a concern
Summary
Premier Lakes reported algae consistent with seasonal conditions, removed a shoreline palm, and said installing a cabinet lowered measured noise at Masters Lake from 64 to 52 decibels; CDD staff and the Board discussed the aerator’s tone and delaying plantings at Lake E4-A pending agreement with the Edgewater Association.
Bill Kurth of Premier Lakes told the Board that lake preserves and dry retention areas are in good condition but that algae growth has been observed, which he described as a basic seasonal maintenance condition. He said a palm tree in the shoreline of Lake E7A was removed and plantings are scheduled for near-term installation.
Kurth said a cabinet was installed around a compressor at Masters Lake and that the sound level was reduced from 64 to 52 decibels, which he considered acceptable given the location between the compressor and the screen line. Operations Manager Shane Willis said that during the lake audit he observed the issue was not solely decibel level but the tone of the aerator, which can be more perceptible to residents.
Discussion focused on possible remedies, including moving the compressor and easement constraints. Kurth and Mr. Willis will coordinate on whether moving the compressor is feasible; Mr. Willis will report findings at the next meeting. Mr. Schultz summarized flooding concerns in Edgewater and recommended a meeting with Tim Wilkin of Edgewater to seek a mutually acceptable solution; the Board agreed to put Lake E4-A plantings on hold until an agreement is reached with the Edgewater Association and resubmit the proposal.
Mr. Willis also presented the Annual Quality Assurance Audit for lake maintenance and dry retention, concluding that water levels were high and the audit will be performed earlier next year. Overall, he reported no compliance issues and improvement in lake conditions since Premier Lakes began maintaining them.
