Harrison, MI
– Near Shower’s property
Because the water is so high, a couple of boaters have hit their motors on rocks that were previously visible when the water is lower. To avoid any additional damage to boats and or their motors, a marker buoy and a hazard area label have been ordered to be placed in that area.
PLM has scheduled a sonar bump pending FasTest results. We have tentatively scheduled it for Wednesday, May 27. If the levels are still good, we will wait to bump in a few more weeks, but I will let you know if that is the case. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

On a positive note – The Lily Lake signs have been fixed and repainted and look beautiful!
Due to all the rain we just got, PLM was out today and did an FOS test. We will have results in about eight days. This test is just to make sure that the Sonar is still working and that the extra volume of water has not diluted it too much.

Hello All,
Our test results came back and I have attached them to this email. Sonar concentrations look great and normal. We have talked with the manufacturer of the product used and they don’t believe the plume had anything to do with the product. We did a little bit of inspection and suspect the construction of a sea wall and its jet pump putting the sediments out into the lake. It has all cleared up as of yesterday. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

First off sorry for so many posts in one day. We won’t normally have such a high post volume, but evidently some people had some concerns about the conditions on the lake.
Per PLM
“Bre and I looked over the lake and don’t see any reason to be concerned. We noticed some development going on around the lake along with beaches having sand that potentially washed into the lake and is being carried by the current/wind. We observed no smell or oil residue. Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns. We are here to help!”
PLM was out testing our lake today And I received an update from Dale Price our Lake Board representative.
Due to the weather we have been having, they think that the lake is doing what is called a turnover. When the conditions are just right sometimes the cold water at the bottom of the lakes mixes with the warmer water on top.
The process is actually good for the lake in the long run of them in the short term it can cause a little bit of unpleasantness.
PLM will be back again next week to do some more testing and at that point in time should have more information for us.
We have checked the water temperature on Lily this morning and it is ready to go! We have scheduled the treatment for Wednesday, May 6. Let us know if you have any questions!
