 A Message from the President

By Tony Doob, President

As you will see by reading the rest of this newsletter, the LWRA has been busy on a number of different fronts. In addition to three very successful social events in 2011, the LWRA has been involved in a number of matters that relate to other organizations.

The following is the text of our presentation to the Public Works and Protective Services Committee on Dec. 6, 2011.

As part of our 5-year review cycle we have drafted a revised version of the Lake Plan. The focus of this revision has been 3-fold:

1. Update information contained within the Lake Plan, including facts and figures as well as reflect the revised Official Plans and Zoning By-laws and the new Unity Plan.

2. Explore the differences between the four lakes and provide emphasis on unique issues faced by Ripple, Palette and Jessop (Jingo) lakes where found. 

 Show off your membership! These classy and durable ID Plaques are available to members of the LWRA and their weatherproof construction means they can be mounted just about anywhere.  

 How often you need your septic system pumped depends upon the use it gets and the size of the tank. The following table is a good guideline, although specific systems and circumstances may vary. For example, a garbage disposal system increases the load by approximately 30%, meaning the system must be pumped more often.

Following many weeks of negotiations, The LWRA and Sybille Pieper have reached an agreement with regards to the subdivision of her property.

As with any negotiations, neither side got everything they wanted out of the deal. However, we feel we have achieved what we could to protect the lake under the circumstances.
