Premier Lakes reports minimal red algae, aeration fixes and planned littoral plantings
Summary
Premier Lakes told the River Ridge board that crews found minimal red algae (to be treated the next day), most aeration issues are fixed except two units needing electrical work, and a 'Zombie box' will be installed at the Masters in about three weeks; the district engineer will seek costs to replant littorals behind 20859 Glen Eagles Lakes Drive.
Dustin Hormann of Premier Lakes reported to the River Ridge board that crews "identified minimal red algae in the lakes, which will be treated tomorrow," and that dry retention areas were recently treated.
Hormann said the aeration issues had been corrected except for two units that require electrical work scheduled the following Monday or Tuesday. He told the board that a "Zombie box" for the Masters is on back order and will be installed in about three weeks. PSGRC General Manager Eric Long notified the board that he had emailed District Engineer Charlie Krebs about inspecting littorals behind 20859 Glen Eagles Lakes Drive; Krebs will obtain costs to replant cord grass and arrowhead.
The update provides an operational snapshot: near-term algae treatment, pending electrical work for aerators, and planned littoral plantings to restore shoreline vegetation. The board did not direct additional funding at the meeting but recorded the maintenance timeline and asked staff to follow up with cost estimates for the littoral replanting.
