Alligator Weed

(Invasive) Clean Up

Hopefully you have seen the clean-up underway on some of the littoral plantings around the POA freshwater lake. This work is being completed by Superior Water Way, our lake contractor for JL, using a harvester machine made in Sweden called a Truxor.

We have a strong commitment to keeping our lake healthy and are very excited to introduce an environmentally sound way of removing these invasive weeds!

Alligator weed is a common invasive vegetation that gets into the littoral plant material on our fresh water lake, which is home to the fish and birds of the area. Alligator Weed then chokes off the littoral plant material we have used to encourage the birds and marine life. Alligator weed is much like the cudzu plant seen along the highway. Spraying the alligator weed to stop the growth of the invasive then requires additional chemicals to be used, as the dying alligator plant creates a nutrient-rich environment that supports algae growth. By using the Truxor mechanical method, the littoral plants have a chance to continue to grow and thrive, thus eliminating the need for more nutrients that cause algae to flourish in the lake.

The Truxor has allowed us to cover a larger area of alligator weed removal in much less time, and can be used for other clean-out of nuisance vegetation as well.

We have converted over 900 of our residents' homes to their ADT monitoring system. The contract with the previous alarm company is about to expire and we want to make sure your alarm is covered.

So don’t wait! Call 1-800-878-7806 to obtain the ADT conversion schedule for your home today.

A friendly reminder that all kayaks/canoes that are using the JL POA racks must be registered with the POA Office and proof of insurance must be submitted for a current decal to be issued. Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

All kayak/canoe owners leaving for the weekend, vacation or season, or not actively using their kayaks/canoes must remove their vessel and store it (them) in their garage or other storage space. In severe weather, a kayak/canoe can become a deadly projectile, so they must be taken off the racks before the storm.

The kayaks/canoes shown in the pictures below will be given until Monday, August 31, 2020, to either be removed from the JL POA racks, registered with the POA office, or have their registrations renewed. After that date, all unregistered kayaks/canoes will be removed from the rack and owners must contact the POA Office for retrieval.
