April 2012

Spring is here, and with it, renewed activity at Weiden Lake.
Some property owners will begin new projects, such as starting
construction on a new home.  All property owners should be aware of the
Weiden Lake Deed Restrictions, Town of Tusten Building Code and Zoning,
and NYS DEC Conservation Laws.
Feel free to contact the Association if you have any questions regarding
buffer zones, protected areas, tree cutting, dock installations, permis, etc.

The Dam will receive it's final update this Spring, bringing the
maintenance project to a conclusion.  In addition to the concrete
maintenance completed last year, a new maintenance walkway has been installed. 
An impressive addition to the Dam, enabling safer operation of the flood gates, and replacement
of timbers that support the gates.  Many thanks to Vice President John Fischer
for his management of this vital project.

Although we all like to get away from it all, the digital age has made
internet connectivity almost as important as water and electricity. 
Careers and school all have an ever increasing dependency on
internet service.  For some areas of Weiden Lake, service has not been
available from Frontier Communications, our telecommunications provider.
Frontier Communications is now in the process of updating/replacing older
technology with new. In doing so, they will be able provide internet service
where it has been previously unavailable.  Updates, coverage, and company contact
 information will be posted here as soon as the update has been completed. 

Weiden Lake is entering it's ninth consecutive year in the "Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program" (CSLAP).
This program trains local residents to collect, process, and ship lake samples
to the "Upstate Freshwater Institute" for lab analysis.  Data is compiled and reports generated by the
NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.   Monitoring of the Lake will help ensure the excellent quality
of the Lake remains excellent.  For more information, go to the "Conservation"section of this web site.
Last year, observation and testing for toxic algae was added to the testing regimen.  Although
no toxic algae has been found or suspected to be in Weiden Lake, adding a monitoring
program seemed appropriate. 

The Board of Directors has been busy over the winter months managing financial, legal, and infrastructure concerns. 
Many thanks to Richard Marcel, John Fischer, Linda Carella, Sue Lohr,
Brandi Merolla, Arnold Melman, John Schulman for their outstanding work.
