Third Lake committee outlines carp-removal contract, aerator repair and dam assessment
Summary
At its April 7 Committee of the Whole meeting, Village of Third Lake leaders reviewed several lake-management items: a proposed one-day carp removal contract for $1,082.26, a disconnected aerator line being addressed by divers, an engineer assessment of a dam leak, and an upcoming invasive-species treatment.
On April 7, 2025, the Village of Third Lake Committee of the Whole reviewed several near-term actions intended to improve lake water quality and infrastructure. Mayor Rodney Buckley reported that the Lake County Health Department will conduct a one-day carp removal and that the Village will be responsible for disposal; he said the contract amount is $1,082.26 and that a resolution to approve the contract will appear on the April village board meeting agenda.
Buckley also said an aerator line is disconnected and that he is coordinating divers to locate and secure the line to the lake bottom. He reported the village’s dam still has a leak; an engineer visited the site to assess the situation and will provide recommendations and cost estimates for repair. Wisconsin Lake & Pond Resources is scheduled to treat invasive aquatic species “within a week or two,” and the village will post exact treatment dates and details on its website once confirmed.
The items discussed mix routine maintenance (aerator repair), a small contracted removal ($1,082.26) and potential capital repair needs (dam leak assessment). The carp-removal contract is limited in scope (one day), and final approval will occur at the upcoming board meeting. The engineering assessment will determine whether larger repairs or budget allocations are needed for the dam.
Next steps: the board will consider the carp-removal resolution at the April board meeting; the engineer will provide cost estimates for dam repair; and the village will publish the invasive-species treatment schedule on its website when confirmed.
