Review candidate bios:
3702 East Sundane Avenue in the Arbors neighborhood consistently exemplifies a well-maintained landscape.
The scoop on Goose and Duck poop
Each dropping contains 76 % carbon, 4.4 % nitrogen, and 1.3 % phosphorus
Geese and Ducks can defecate as many as 92 times a day (numbers reported range from 28-92)

Waterfowl can deposit large amounts of phosphorus in your pond. Our ponds are home to many organisms and in some instances, this includes waterfowl like ducks and geese. The average duck can produce over 27 pounds of nitrogen fertilizer in one year. The lake is home currently to at minimum 200 ducks, that is 5400 pounds of raw nitrogen fertilizer being deposited into the lake each year.

What can you do to help reduce the nutrient load and slow down these algae blooms?

A. Please don’t feed the ducks
B. If you are feeding the ducks, don’t feed bread. Please try cracked corn.
C. Please don’t feed them in the water, feed them in the grass away from the lake.

Arizona Lake and Pond Management met this week onsite with Lonza, the world’s largest manufacturer of aquatic algaecides and began the process of testing the water and algae again with Clemson University to find a possible combination of chemicals that will help control these blooms, the one element we all agree on is that the blooms will be potentially difficult to control if the community can’t control the waterfowl numbers and feeding practices. We thank you for your aid in this. 

Respectfully yours,

House Paint Schemes Online
Time to paint your home? If your home has not been painted in 7-10 years, it's time. Find the perfect paint color at   www.mypowerranch.com . It is easy to select a pre-approved paint scheme and download an application without leaving your house.

To give homeowners more choice, we now have all Power Ranch preapproved paint schemes available in Behr Paint colors.  All of the color-matching has been done for you!  Visit our website for a discount code that can be used at any Home Depot store.
 
Remember, colors viewed on a computer screen or when printed may not be an exact representation of the actual pigment color. When matching is critical, please refer to original color chips as a reference. 

Are you planning on painting your home? Please submit your Design Modification Application well in advance of your scheduled painting date. It can take up to seven business days to receive an approval, and waiting until the last minute to submit can result in a lost painting date or a missed deadline. You can submit up to 60 days in advance.
