Message from the Board
September is here and changes are already visible here at Lake Chaffee. Some trees are starting to change, the water temperature has dropped, the lake has gotten quiet and the geese are flocking in greater numbers.
As is plenty visible to all on the lake, the lowering of the water level has begun. Due to the lack of rainfall recently the level has dropped drastically in a short period of time. We will be monitoring the level to be sure it does not exceed the 36" decided upon at the meeting. Hopefully everyone will be able to get the work done along their shore while the level is low. It is a perfect time to clean the lake bottom in front you cottages as well. We apologize for the inconvenience to boaters and those who like to fish at this time of year.
On September 22nd we will have the End of Summer Party at noon at Chaffee Hall. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and drinks will be provided by the Board. Residents who would like to bring along a side or dessert are encouraged to do so. This is an opportunity to wish well to those who are only summer residents, and to visit with other neighbors and friends before the colder weather arrives.
The next LCIA Board Meeting is October 9th at 6:30PM in Chaffee Hall. All are welcome to attend and express any concerns, or offer suggestions during the Public Comments portion of the Agenda. The Agenda will be posted on the bulletin board at the hall a few days prior to the meeting.
If at any time you have questions about what is acceptable here at Lake Chaffee, you may refer to the
Ordinances here on this site, or contact one of the Board Members. These regulations have been created by the board and voted on by members at the time of their implimentation. They are in place to keep Lake Chaffee a safe and enjoyable place for all.
State of the Lake
The final water test results have come back and as always the lake is in great shape. See the results
here. We apologize for the lateness of the testing but two to three days of no rain is required to gather samples so it has been difficult to do so up until now.
If you have Purple Loosestrife growing along your waterfront, please remove the flowers and bag them. Then pull up the plants from the roots to help stop the growth of this invasive plant along our shoreline. Additional information can be found at: cipwg.uconn.edu and search for Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria L.)
