Protect Lake Williams: Say No to Fertilizer Runoff!    

Dear Lake Williams Community,

Did you know that fertilizer runoff is one of the main sources of nutrients in our beloved lake? Fertilizers contain phosphorus and nitrogen, which contribute to eutrophication, a process that degrades water quality and harms aquatic life.

Eutrophication leads to unsightly algae blooms and invasive weeds, diminishing property values, recreational opportunities, and posing risks to our health and the well-being of our pets. Blue-green algae, in particular, can be toxic and detrimental to both humans and wildlife.

We can all play a part in preserving the beauty and health of Lake Williams. Here's how:

1. Avoid Fertilizers: Refrain from using fertilizers on your lawn. This applies to all residents, not just those living on the lakefront. Even organic fertilizers release nutrients and contribute to runoff.

2. Consider Alternatives: Explore alternative lawn covers and plantings such as native landscaping or rock gardens. These options require minimal or no fertilization and promote biodiversity.

3. Get Involved: Join Friends of Lake Williams in our mission to promote lake-friendly practices. Stay tuned for upcoming campaigns and initiatives to protect our lake.

Help Spread the Word…

Show your support by placing a "Lake Over Lawn" sign in your yard. These signs serve as a visual reminder to protect our lake and are available for a suggested donation of $5. Email us to get yours today!

Together, we can make a difference and ensure that Lake Williams remains a vibrant and healthy ecosystem for generations to come.

Thank you for your support,

Friends of Lake Williams
