Lake Lowering and Erosion Control

  By Tim Langer – Lake Management Committee

As the lake is now lowered, the Rome Rock Association (RRA) Lake Management Committee would like to remind our residents that it’s a great time to inspect our properties. Detecting areas at high risk for erosion and taking action protects our lake and our community. Please look for overflow points or holes in erosion control structures and seek remedies to reinforce them. This could be your sea wall, “rip-rap” (rock), and/or vegetation. Reinforcement of shoreline barriers, confirming clear drainage channels, and checking dock supports and surrounding areas safeguards us all.

If you suspect you may have a problem or have identified a problem, contact the Village office or the RRA to inquire about necessary permits and any approved vendors. There are contractors to assist and some do it yourself techniques. With proper attention, erosion of our shoreline can be controlled. Be Lake Responsible. Love our Lake.
