Good morning,
Mandatory Mowing – With the spring rains and warm temperatures, trees are budding, flowers are blooming, and the grass is growing. Vacant lot owners, please note that all lots must be mowed a minimum of six (6) times per year and the first mowing must be completed prior to May 20th. Lawn inspections will be conducted on: May 20th, June 10th, July 1st, August 1st, September 1st and October 1st. Vacant lots which are not mowed prior to these dates will be mowed at the direction of the Association and the lot owners will be billed $150. Please mow your vacant lots before May 20th.
Boat Wash Station – I’m glad to inform that the boat wash station has been installed, hooked up and is fully functional for this year’s boating season. If you’re bringing your watercraft to Lake Summerset after using it in another body of water, you must wash your boat. Please be a good steward of our beautiful lake and help stop the spread of invasive species by taking the time to Clean – Drain – and Dry your watercraft. Thanks in advance.
AIS Survey – The Board of Directors recently finalized a survey regarding watercraft usage, entry requirements and AIS (Aquatic Invasive Species) which you should have received by now. It’s a very brief survey which should take no more than 3-4 minutes to complete. The information you provide will be used to help develop educational materials and programs, and watercraft entry regulations which to safeguard our most precious resource, the Lake. If you haven’t yet, please take a moment to complete the survey and mail it, or bring it to the office at your earliest convenience. Your input is very important.
Hydrant Flushing – Starting Monday, May 18th, Members of the Otter Creek Lake Utility District (OCLUD) will be testing and flushing all fire hydrants within Lake Summerset. This work is important and a proactive way of assuring that the hydrants will function properly if they’re needed.
Decals – This is a final reminder to apply your 2026 vehicle decals to your cars, trucks, boats, pontoons, kayaks, canoes, golf carts and ATV’s. Having a current decal is more important than many people think as it’s the first line of defense for our Public Safety staff to know that you are a member in good standing and have the right to use our amenities. Please put the 2026 decals on your vehicles.
If you want information, just ask – Let me start by saying that I do not dislike Nextdoor. I think it’s a great way to share thoughts with other property owners and to share your opinions. If you don’t know, Nextdoor can also be a breeding ground for misinformation, and at times, disinformation. If you have questions regarding the Association, or you’d like information regarding our operations, our expenditures, or our policies, ask me. If you read something on ND that just doesn’t sound right, it probably isn’t. Call me, email me, stop in the office and see me or simply reply to my eblasts with your question. By replying to this eblast, your question comes to me and to me only. You’re entitled to accurate information and I’m glad to provide it. Just ask.
Hoping you and yours have a safe and enjoyable weekend!
Mike
