Now that the previous "teardown" cottage has been replaced by a sprawling palace (which was more than likely rented-out). But now there are two adjacent leeching fields, or twice the volume of nutrients percolating invisibly into the lake's waters.
At the season's start, the water level was too high and in the absence of a "no-wake" order, tons of "nutrients" entered the lake.
Anybody notice how dark the lake water was this summer? ( ALL Summer).
I did, and will lay this disaster--for the most part--at the feet of the dam operators.
That our previous summer was the wettest summer I can recall, played an essential part, but "The Perfect Storm" brought us ☞ here ☜.
Those other factors which, IMHO, contributed to this can be found below:

It was explained that the dam operators cannot legally flood the downstream properties; and forward forecasting is for a warmer, wetter winter.
But again, money will not change the amount of rain in short periods of time that we get.
It may be used to expand the sewage network and hook more homes up, but I don't think this grant is in support of that.
