WATER QUALITY REPORT No. 1 - Please click here.
Lakewood Village Association is a PRIVATE association for MEMBERS ONLY. Anyone who is not a member, or is not directly with a member as their guest, who is using these private amenities is subject to TRESPASSING charges being filed. Members may not give 'permission' for others to use any of the amenities in their absence. Members need to be prepared to show identification to Patrol Officers.
NOTICE: The entire surface of Lake Colchester is a NO WAKE lake. If you have watercraft registered on the lake, you signed an agreement that states you agree to the terms on the Agreement.
The DNR defines NO WAKE as follows: "The operation of a watercraft at the SLOWEST speed necessary to maintain steerage, in no case greater than 5 mph. This is to for safety of individuals in the lake; and to protect shorelines, as well. The wake a boat creates will have an impact on the shoreline and on people's property and docks."
Please be advised: This is the standard the LVA Patrols will use. No Exceptions. Loss of Privileges can result for the Violation of LVA Rules.
NOTICE: Jumping from the Shoreline and from floating fishing docks is prohibited. Swimming outside of designated areas is prohibited. This includes staying INSIDE the buoys at the beach; or withing 20' of a pontoon boat. In no case is swimming within or across the lake permitted.
THE LAKEWOOD VILLAGE ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP APPROVED THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES & BYLAWS on May 9, 2020.
WHAT ARE THE BOUNDARIES OF LAKEWOOD VILLAGE ASSOCIATION?
REMINDER: FIREWORKS ARE NOT PERMITTED ON ANY LAKEWOOD VILLAGE ASSOCIATION COMMON PROPERTIES, INCLUDING WITHIN or ON LAKE COLCHESTER.
You are also reminded to be considerate of the Lakewood Noise Nuisance Ordinance. Please be mindful of courteous respect for all residents, respecting their rights for peaceful enjoyment of the lake and Common Properties.
KEY FOBS A new electronic access system has been installed to enhance the privacy and security of our marina and lake. Key Fobs have been issued and are User Specific programed and coded for tracking purposes. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM loaning out your Key Fob to anyone! Key Fob replacements cost $25.
ATTENTION:
Everyone knows that drinking or ingesting lake water is not a good idea. This is a reminder that there are many organisms, bacteria, little creatures and other chemicals (beyond our control) that populate any lake; and care should be taken to avoid drinking or swallowing the water should you choose to be in the water. If you or the family experience illness after swimming in the lake, you should immediately contact your health care provider and get checked out. It was recently brought to our attention that a resident suspects they became ill through inadvertently swallowing lake water. This emphasizes the need to both be careful, and contact your health care provider if you are not feeling well.
