“Why does our HOA need a lake management company?”
Sometimes, aquatic management is viewed as a frivolous or unnecessary expense for a community. “My lake looks fine, why should I pay to have someone take care of it?”
Most people that live on lakes also see them differently than someone who maintains them. The difference is homeowners tend to look “at” the water, where as waterway managers look “in” the water. Too often people put off lake maintenance until they see a problem and weed populations have already become established.
As a property owner or property manager, it’s valuable to have a company that will respond to these unexpected outbreaks. Every lake matures differently, and it takes a combination of experience and expertise to maintain a healthy balance as changes occur.
Allstate Resource Management’s staff is always there to answer your questions and works to ensure excellent results in any lake management situation.

Understanding Your Lake “Our Lake Was Never Like This Before”

Understanding Your Lake “Our Lake Was Never Like This Before”

A lake is a living, and ever evolving thing. Many people think a lake is static and unchanging like a swimming pool.
Often, we hear “I’ve lived on this lake for years and it’s never been like this before. What’s going on?”
The simple answer is: You’re lake is getting older and as it matures it’s going to go through changes. This is
especially true in South Florida since most of our lakes are man made, shallow and quite new in comparison to the natural lakes that occur in other parts of the country.
To add to the situation, our lakes are connected directly to storm water drains and canals, increasing sources of input. Community lakes may provide nice scenery but their primary purpose is to catch and hold rainwater from storms so our neighborhoods don’t flood. That water carries with it anything it picks up as is flows across our properties, down the streets, and through our developments. Items such as dirt, fertilizer, grass clippings, pet waste, leaves, and petroleum products are carried into our lakes via storm flow and accompanying winds where they begin to accumulate.
Everything from lake depth to water chemistry is changed (ever so slightly) every rainy season. Year after year the subtle changes build until finally, the cumulative result becomes visually obvious. Another source for change that often goes unnoticed is the constant barrage of new weeds and plants introduced to our lakes by wildlife. Waterways provide an oasis and convenient habitat for migrating water birds. Every season they travel great distances, hopping from lake to lake; carrying new weeds and transferring them to each water body as they go.
Therefore, if the observation is “Our lake wasn’t like this 5 years ago.” The response is “That’s because it’s not the same lake it was 5 years ago.” The long standing relationship Allstate has had with many of its customers has given us tremendous experience in handling the changes that naturally occur with community lakes over time. Feel free to contact us and let our staff work with your specific waterway needs.

4 “Tricks” to a Healthier Lake! by Allstate Resource Management

4 “Tricks” to a Healthier Lake!

 

Regularly test the water quality.

The first step in keeping your lake healthy is regularly testing the water quality. Ensure that your lake management company is testing the water before treatments.

Use algae control.

Algae is a common problem in Florida lakes, but there are methods you can use to control it. Partnering with a professional lake company is key! A lake maintenance company can put together a comprehensive plan designed specifically for your lake. Each lake is different and each HOA property might have specific goals and aesthetics they want to achieve.

Use aeration to promote healthy oxygen levels.

Aeration is essential for maintaining healthy oxygen levels in your lake. The water can become stagnant without adequate aeration, leading to low oxygen levels and an unhealthy lake ecosystem. Use a lake aerator to keep the water moving and to promote healthy oxygen levels.

Control invasive plant species.

Invasive plant species, such as cattails or water hyacinths, can quickly take over your lake and create an unhealthy environment for aquatic life. Let our lake specialists work with your HOA to help control and eradicate invasive plants/

What happens when it floods?

Water will flow from streets into your local storm drain and then to your lake. You will see lake levels rise during this time. Your local drainage district is hard at work in pump stations and control rooms managing water throughout South Florida. You will see this level of flooding till the main drainage system can catch up with the amount of rain that fell over the last 48 hours.
If you have not had your Stormwater System inspected within
the last year contact us for a comprehensive inspection of your property’s Stormwater System.

One of the most challenging aspects of lake maintenance is communicating the management program to the clients. A homeowner that sees a lake from a purely aesthetic point of view has a vastly different understanding than an applicator that is actively managing it.

We have the ability to help you educate your homeowners about their lakes and what we do. When you have questions about how your lake is being cared for, our experienced applicators are available to provide you with the answers you need. Feel free to print any of our “Understanding Your Lake” articles in this resource section.

If you would like us to supply articles for your HOA newsletters regarding waterway issues, please give us a call. We are also available for consultation presentations to HOA’s. We are a DBPR approved provider of CEU credits for CAM s and are available to supply your property management company with accredited courses.
