The dam has been opened slightly. Lake level is up three inches.
Starry stonewort is widespread. Not a major problem. Should not impact the
recreational use of the lake.
Aquatic Plant Survey nearly completed.
Restoration project progressing well. This was a joint effort with the City of Muskego,
Ducks Unlimited and the DNR. Additional funding was provided by MMSD.
