January 2025
Welcome to 2025! We kicked off the new year with our January 8th Board Meeting. We’re going to be very focused this year on organically building the preservation fund to protect our lake. Watch for more to come. Thank you to Dick Hilton who shared our insurance coverage and costs with the board - helping us to better understand the plan we have and the costs associated with our coverage. It was noted that many companies are no longer covering dams across the country, and the cost of insurance has been rising.

Lake Manager's Report — December 2024
1. With the mixed results of ice trying to form on the lake, this is a good time to remind winter lake users about the need to exercise particular care and caution when venturing out on the ice as it begins to thicken. On the following page is some information on General Ice Thickness Guidelines. The MPOA website (wlmpoa.org) also has a video posted on how someone falling through the ice can perform a "self-rescue".
Lake Manager’s Report – November 2024
1. The invoice for the USGS Stream Gage on Nippersink Creek at Thompson Road has been received by the MPOA. The $11,140 amount covers the annual fee for the USGS to maintain the stream gage. This gage provides critical information on-line, helping the MPOA make informed lake management decisions on when no-wake or lake closed conditions exist. Thanks to the efforts of County Boad member Louisett Ness, the amount of County Cost-share towards the $11,140 amount has increased this year from $5,000 last year to $7,500 this year.
