Premier Lakes reports algae, reduces compressor decibel level; plantings at Lake E4-A delayed amid Edgewater concern
Summary
Premier Lakes reported routine seasonal algae, said a compressor cabinet reduced measured sound at Masters Lake from 64 to 52 decibels though the aerator's tone remains a concern, and the Board postponed plantings at Lake E4-A pending an agreement with the Edgewater Condo Association.
At the July 23 meeting, Bill Kurth of Premier Lakes reported that the lakes, preserves and dry retention areas are generally in good condition but that seasonal algae growth has been observed. He said a cabinet was installed around a compressor to lower the sound level at the Masters Lake compressor system; the measured level dropped from 64 to 52 decibels between the compressor and the screen line.
Operations Manager Shane Willis cautioned that the concern is not solely the decibel reading but the tone of the aerator, which continues to draw attention. The Board discussed options including moving the compressor and reviewing easement constraints; Mr. Willis will coordinate with Bill and Alex Kurth on potential relocation and report findings at the next meeting.
Mr. Schultz summarized flooding and littoral planting concerns in Edgewater and recommended a meeting with the Edgewater association to seek an acceptable solution. The Board reached consensus to avoid planting Canna lilies; plantings in Lake E4-A will be delayed until the association and relevant parties reach agreement, and staff will resubmit a revised proposal at a later date.
Mr. Kurth left the call after his report. Staff and operations will continue to study options to address the aerator tone and to coordinate planting timing with association stakeholders.
