Safety Tip: Electricity Around Water

ELECTRICITY. It’s shocking. It can be deadly.

If you have a dock, you have a responsibility make certain that it is safe for you, your guests, and your neighbors.

Most of us have electricity on our docks. We power our boats lifts, lights, pumps, refrigerators, battery chargers and more. Even a little “loose voltage” can cause serious problems.

If you are in the water and you feel a tingle, get away from the dock and call for help! Touching the ladder (or anything metal) might be the last thing you ever do. Someone on the shore needs to turn off the electricity immediately. Do you know how to do that? How many other people at your dock know how to shut off the power? Don’t keep it a secret.

Tragic stories are easy to find. Every summer someone is on the news, usually deadfrom electric shock while in the water. I recommend that you look at the website for www. docklifeguard.com for examples, and how to avoid tragedy.

There are several products that will alert everyone in the area to stray voltage in the water. They vary in cost and effectiveness. Their reviews are important to read. Dock Lifeguard had by far the best reviews I saw. There may be a better product out there. I didn’t see it.

I encourage you to think of who you are protecting as you consider this issue. This is not where you want to go cheap.

I chose Dock Lifeguard. A lake area electrician is a certified installer.

Don’t let your dock become part of a horror story.

Managing Directors Report

Doug Winter reported for Jeff Ferguson (Managing Director): Condo Control

• We are moving from Card Connect for credit card payments to Zego. The fee is 3% plus $2.00 per transaction. The change was made as the credit card system has to be compatible with Condo so payments can be processed online.

• Payments via Condo will be available in July 2023.

Lake Information

• Clubhouse rental fees are being reviewed.

• Jeff is working with the USDA to identify programs which the Lake may be eligible to participate in. One example is a pollinator garden as much of the Lake land are used for haying for livestock.

• Beach 2 has suffered some erosion during the recent rain.

• Permit payments are used for the road repairs.

• Lot S131 has not sold. Nadine Parmenter is the agent who has the lot listed for sale. Plan is to lower the price and let the buyer do any work that is needed on the lot.

Fishing Committee

• Brett Bush reported that there will be two additional fishing tournaments later this year. There will be a Crappie tournament and another Bass tournament.

We have also added a couple of Concrete Washout areas here at the lake for concrete trucks to wash out. One is at the Maintenance Dump area and the other one is on the South side at 165th & LVT at South End Containment Pond (known as Temporary Road).
