As was approved in the November 2024 Board Meeting and contracted in the January 2025 Board meeting, SOLitude Lake Management has begun their work on bathymetric sediment mapping, vegetation and depth surveys, water quality testing, sediment and nutrient load testing, copper sediment testing and aquatic vegetation treatment in Lakewood.

As of the time of this publication, SOLitude has provided lake vegetation treatment on these two dates:

May 12, 2025

June 10, 2025

So far this season we have experienced light to moderate lake vegetation levels. Both Coon Tail & Curly-Leaf Pondweed have been observed. Good communication between SOLitude Lake Management and LPOA staff will continue and if the level of vegetation increases, additional treatments may be added as needed. After the initial treatment, we experience good visual results showing a noticeable decline.

Remember that throughout the summer season, you may still see remnant aquatic growth—the treatments take time to work and multiple treatments are usually conducted. Surface algae is also not a target of treatment, as algae growth is a result of fertilizer runoff from surrounding residential lake property.
