FAQ: Will the North Shore Development be a part of the Lakewood Village Association, Inc.
ANSWER: Yes, the area has been established and is governed by the LVA Homeowners' (association) Incorporation Documents, By-Laws, and the Covenants for that addition & by the established taxing entity, Lakewood Benefited Recreational Lake District (LBRLD).
FAQ: Is Lake Colchester tested for dangerous bacteria in the water?
ANSWER: "LBRLD does water testing. Testing is done through the State Hygienic Lab in Ankeny. The purpose of testing is to create baselines and track water quality issues like clarity, bacteria, phosphorous, and nitrates. While testing for bacteria is done, we do not track this on a weekly or daily basis for swimming or lake use safety -- that endeavor is beyond our capabilities and there are no signs of trouble at the present time. LBRLD will test if there are known or potential issues." -LBRLD President
FAQ: When will North Shore be developed?
ANSWER: North Shore is a reality and will be placed on the market in the near future. The PUD property located adjacent to Lake Colchester will be reserved primarily for residential uses. Those residential parcels will not be available for sale in the immediate future since it has become apparent that the commercial parcels along the highway must first be developed.
