Premier Lakes reports algae, reduces compressor noise but tone remains a concern
Summary
Premier Lakes told the River Ridge CDD that lakes and dry retention areas are generally in good shape but seasonal algae was noted; a compressor cabinet reduced measured noise from 64 to 52 decibels, although staff said the aerator’s tone remains an issue and plantings were put on hold pending association agreement.
Bill Kurth of Premier Lakes told the board on July 23 that the lakes, preserves and dry retention areas are in good shape overall but noted seasonal algae growth. He said a palm tree on Lake E7A’s shoreline had been removed and plantings are scheduled in the near future.
Kurth reported the Masters Lake compressor sound level fell from 64 to 52 decibels after the installation of a cabinet around the compressor system. "The sound level has been reduced from 64 to 52 decibels," Kurth said, and called the result acceptable. Operations Manager Shane Willis, however, said the issue is not only decibel level but the tone of the aerator, and that moving the compressor might be considered.
Discussion touched on moving the compressor, easement implications, and coordination with Edgewater condo associations. Mr. Schultz summarized issues in Edgewater and recommended a meeting with Tim Wilkin of the Edgewater association to seek agreeable solutions. The board reached consensus to delay planting in Lake E4-A until an agreement is reached with the Edgewater Association and staff resubmitted the planting proposal when appropriate.
Willis also presented the annual quality assurance audit for lake maintenance and dry retention, reporting high water levels and noting that overall lake conditions have improved since Premier Lakes began maintenance. Willis and Mrs. Adams answered questions about bubblers in dry retention areas and deer sightings.
