Hydrilla in the Reservoir

At their November 17,2021 meeting, the Woodlake Board of Directors requested an update from the Reservoir Hydrilla Management Group (RHMG) about the status of hydrilla in the Swift Creek reservoir. The Board and management team have heard from several residents regarding the current conditions in the reservoir, in addition to reading several comments about the hydrilla in the most recent amenity survey. The RHMG gave the Board and residents a short update on this topic online and in-person, while offering some short-term solutions for this ongoing problem. Recommendations also included an additional tab on the Woodlake website for Hydrilla-related information, and working with the Chesterfield County Utility department to provide educational signage to be placed in areas around the reservoir. Additionally, a concerned resident group offered several opinions on the reservoir conditions based on research in other areas that also have hydrilla issues. This group of residents will continue to update the Board as they have discussions with Chesterfield County and the other stakeholders involved with the Swift Creek reservoir. There is an additional tab on the Woodlake website for information about the Hydrilla issue. The Woodlake Board of Directors and management thank these folks for their efforts in providing information and education to our residents on this important issue. The PowerPoint presentation is located HERE.

Boating Storage Announcement

Boating Storage Rental Agreements and Stickers will renew on January 1, 2022. Please let us know if you no longer wish to rent a spot for your boat in 2022, or if you have sold your boat and will not need your sticker renewed. Payments are due on the first of January; late fees of $25.00 per boat will be assessed on any boating fees not received by January 10. If any fees remain unpaid as of February 1, the Association will interpret said lack of payment as one's relinquishing of the boat storage space. Should this have to occur, the existing 2021 sticker will be invalidated, and the associated boat will have to unfortunately be towed (at the owner's expense). Please act now to keep your storage space; and thank you for your diligence in helping to maintain your vessels throughout the year. See this link for further information on the Woodlake Boat Registration and Boating Rules. If you have questions, please contact Diana at diana@woodlakeonline.com.
