IMPORTANT NOTE
GLA & GLM MANAGERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS & RANGERS ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS
They receive absolutely no money for their services. Keep this in mind...EVERY DOLLAR of your dues and fees goes strictly for the benefit of YOUR lake.
Lake Maintenance
GLA owns and maintains a well
and pump to help maintain
lake level during extended
periods with little or no rain.
The pump was run for 30 days,
June 30th through July 29th.
It costs about $160 per day to run the pump.
So GLA expense was approximately $4800.
That is why your donations to the
pump fund are so important.
Lake Safety
Remember that kayaks and paddle boards must be off the lake by dark EVERY day.
One rule we still need to educate several boaters about...Pontoon boats do not have headlights; those are docking lights which blind other boaters. Turn them off when cruising on the lake.
Contact GLM at (901) 388-9176 for information.
Remember this number is staffed by a volunteer
and may not be answered every day.
Erosion & Runoff Into The Lake
If you see muddy water running into the lake from a construction site, please call Lakeland City Hall at (901) 867-2717 and report it. The City is responsible for insuring that contractors contain their muddy storm water and prevent it from entering the lake.
Lawn services that do NOT use phosphorus in their lawn treatments are highly recommended for the health of the lake.
