Our 2024 Initiatives

  • Full lake survey for both eagle & pike lakes

    Survey both lakes to identify existing invasive and non-invasive species. It has been several years since both lakes underwent a thorough survey beyond spot-checks.

    Cost: ~$5k

  • Expand aquatic invasive species treatments

    Kindly be aware that most Federal and State Grants necessitate a 30-50% ‘participation’ from us towards the total cost of treatment.

    Cost: ~$3-5k

  • Additional street sweeping

    Leaves are a significant source of pollutants in lakes, contributing to higher levels of total phosphorous. While the City of Maple Grove provides some street sweeping services, investing in extra assistance can help decrease the amount of leaves entering the lake.

  • Inspection of Storm outlet

    Collaborate with the City of Maple Grove to conduct inspections and ensure proper functionality.
