This adjustment was attributed to dropping temperatures and declining mosquito populations.

Water quality and the presence of algae in local ponds were other topics. The Board discussed natural occurrences of algae, with a specific focus on identifying potentially harmful cyanobacteria. Residents were informed of a simple method to test for problematic algae using a stick dipped in water. The Board assured that if residents notice significant algal blooms, they should report them for testing.

Additionally, the meeting touched upon the ongoing Covenant cases, where septic systems near ponds have not been repaired but are monitored due to their minimal usage. Water quality tests on these properties are scheduled, with the owners responsible for the costs. These tests are important to ensuring that the septic systems do not adversely affect the pond’s water quality.
