Duck Lake

I believe several of the diffusers at the south end (as you exit) of the narrows (site 7 area) are not working. Not sure how to explain the area any better, I could not find a map with identification numbers for the diffusers.

The compressors or bubblers are not working in the canal (boat launch area) of South Bay Shores Sub. Have not been working for a couple of days. Not sure who to call or let know of the problem.

In two days we had nearly 3.5″ of rain over Duck Lake, now totaling 6.6″ for July, bringing the lake level to 6.5″ above the legal level. (I have two digital rain gauges at my home) I checked the dam yesterday and found boards had been added so that the lake would need to rise another 2-3 inches to even begin spilling water. I called left a message last evening with Jason Say of the WRC to report my findings. He said lake techs were out this morning to remove boards to begin spilling water and he would ask why the boards were set incorrectly. I will post again when he gets an answer.

Are there any lake restrictions with the enzyme treatment this week?
July 22, 2019 at 9:04 am
Hi Travis,
So sorry for the late reply. I am guessing you saw from the lake usage this weekend, that no, there are no restrictions when the enzymes are being applied. They are 100% safe and FDA approved. That is why there are no signs posted. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Ryan

What type of well water filtration for your house do you recommend, espescially for water softening and iron filtration?
July 17, 2019 at 9:06 pm
We purchased an iron filter (and a new softener) this winter from Advanced Water Treatment & Well Drilling and have been very pleased. Before we only had the water softener and a carbon filter and it didn’t work nearly as well.
Specialty it was an EV-AIR 10×54 Iron/Sulfur Filter Carbon

Thanks for responding. We have an existing iron filter and will look into adding a softer.

Personally, I have a sediment pre-filter, softener, and a whole-house carbon filter for the house, then reverse osmosis filter connected to my fridge for drinking water. I purchased all of it at Lowe’s and installed it all. Lots of services out there, tho, if you don’t want to do it yourself.
July 18, 2019 at 7:37 pm
Thanks for your reply. Will look into a sediment pre-filter softener.

I use a 45000 grain whirlpool water softener purchased at lowes 8 years ago. i use the green bags of salt for iron. a basic frige water filter thats it. thats for a small 2 bedroom 1 bath house. never a problem. 1 week before the toliet porcelin starts to iron stain.

Thanks for your response. Will look into the green bags of salt and the Whirlpool water softener.

Lake Savors treated the bay by Castle Ct around June 15.
July 15, 2019 at 11:03 am
I believe that was the weed treatment. Lake Saviors is suppose to be brewing large batches of the enzyme in a big pool along the shore some where to treat the whole lake. I have seen nothing going on yet. We were suppose to get two dosages a year.

Ever Blue (Lake Savers) will be running a batch of 100,000 gallons this week.
July 15, 2019 at 11:50 am
Great! Thanks Matt.
July 22, 2019 at 9:06 am
Good news, is that they are going to try to get 3 batches in this year!
July 22, 2019 at 6:13 pm
they came out and put five 5 gallon buckets of mixed enzymes in the bay after sticking for the bottom. Seven feet of muck one foot of water in the bay. He saw it with his own eyes!
July 22, 2019 at 9:18 pm
Wow, Hopefully one day it be 7 ft water 1 foot muck.
August 6, 2019 at 9:15 am
It was stated that this is the worst muck depth area on the lake, then why is there not a diffuser in this bay?
July 15, 2019 at 9:58 am
Nothing mentioned about the enzymes going in the lake on July 8. Did they do this?
July 4, 2019 at 10:11 pm
There was a dog roaming down the shoreline on little duck heading towards Willow Lane at 10pm

Was down to the dam and the water is just flowing freely out . Does anyone know why this is happening we are losing water level rapidly . With the hot weather and sprinklers being used we will soon be a pond.
July 1, 2019 at 8:37 pm
We are still a bit more more than two inches above the legal level. Weather Underground predicts about 0.8” of rain this week. That should more than offset the evaporation, if it actually rains. It is a fine balancing act.
June 26, 2019 at 12:42 pm
Are they going to do anymore spraying of weeds before the Holiday? The weed around our dock plus the houses on both sides of us are really bad. This is the worst it’s been in a couple years. I live at 2162 Jackson on middle duck right off Flynn Drive. Thank You.

I believe that area was treated a couple weeks ago so they may still be dying off. I will mention it to the treatment company, though, so they can take a look.
June 27, 2019 at 9:26 am
He was actually on the lake yesterday when I told him about this area so he was able to touch up those areas. You should see them go down in the next week or so.
