LPOA MESSAGE CENTER UPDATES:

As of 10/29/2024

=======================================

VERY IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE TO LPOA MEMBERS and LRID RESIDENTS ABOUT LAKE #1 & LAKE #3!!

The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has issued a Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) Advisory for Lake #1 and will probably issue one for Lake #3 due to the presence of Blue-Green Algae Blooms in these two lakes.  Due to the much warmer than average temperatures over the last month, below normal rainfall amounts for the last two months, increased and more concentrate nutrient levels due to the low water flow rate and additional waste that continues to be produced by the large numbers of Domestic Ducks and Geese,  and abundant amounts of sunshine over the past month and a half, the Blue Green Algae in these two lakes has greatly increased.  They have posted their Advisory Signs around Lake #1.   As of today, they took samples from Lake #3 since there was Blue Green Algae was visibly present so we will find out if there are toxins present when the tests are completed.  We have been advised that the best treatment for these types of algal blooms is to let them run their natural course.   You can help by not dumping any of your yard waste items like grass, leaves, and other types of vegetation into any of the lakes.  You can also help by not feeding any the ducks and geese within the Lakewood boundary.  As long as residents continue to feed the waterfowl the problems will continue to get worse.

KEEP OUR WILDLIFE SAFE & LAKES and PARKS CLEAN!!! 

YOU CAN HELP… DO NOT FEED THE DUCKS AND GEESE!   

DO NOT FEED the DUCKS & GEESE on any our Lakewood Lakes, lakeshores, or in your own yards that are adjacent to or near of any of the lakes. These feral “farm birds” are continually producing unhealthy conditions for our community, our lakes, the surrounding environments and our parks and recreational areas. ** Effective October 2023, The LRID board has recently acknowledged the City of North Little Rock’s Nuisance Animal Statute:  6.1.7- that makes it UNLAWFUL for any person to OWN, FEED, HARBOR, CARE FOR, INTERFERE WITH THE CAPTURE OF OR BE IN CONTROL OF ANY NUISANCE ANIMALS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. The large populations of DOMESTIC DUCKS AND GEESE have also been acknowledged by our LRID Board and the City of North Little Rock’s Releasing Animals in Public Place Statute:   6.1.8 – that it shall be UNLAWFUL for ANY PERSON TO KNOWINGLY RELEASE ANY ANIMAL IN ANY PUBLIC PLACE WITHIN THE CITY OF NORTH LITTLE ROCK.

DO NOT RELEASE NON-NATIVE DUCKS and GEESE or Pet Koi or GoldFish on ANY of OUR LAKEWOOD LAKES!  These/Our lakes are not any individuals own personal lake; they belong to our entire community.   Non-Native “Fowl” Swans, Ducks or Geese (like Moscovy Ducks, Chinese Crested and Toulouse Geese, Peking Ducks, Black-bellied Tree Ducks to name a few) continue to OVERPOPULATE and our lakes.  

These large numbers of invasive species of animal harm the natural environment by eating, polluting, and destroying all of OUR NATIVE animals'(including waterfowl and fish) natural food source and suitable habitat.

A NOTE FROM LRID#4 BOARD CHAIRPERSON

There is a reason our neighborhood is called “Lakewood”: the beautiful lakes we all enjoy. Each one has its own beauty and is enjoyed in its own special way. In the early part of the 20th Century the lakes were built as a focal and selling point for the lots in the new Lakewood development of North Little Rock. We enjoy their beauty, but sometimes forget that they also provide drainage for a major part of the city. So please keep this in mind when you are doing your spring cleaning and yard work. Help us keep the lakes clean. Please do not rake or blow your yard waste or dump products into the storm drains. It all end up in our lakes which is not good for our lakes’ ecosystem and is costly to clean up. Please respect our lakes and the natural beauty of our Lakewood neighborhood and do your part to help us keep our neighborhood looking it’s best! Mike Grounds, Past LRID Board Chair
