Below is from Michael Perry, St Petersburg Lake Manager, on July 3, 2025:

I wanted to inform you and the residents that we have the yearly alum treatment tentatively scheduled for July 8^th and July 9^th. (completed on 7/9) It should be done the same way as last year with equipment staged up at the front of the community and small work boats and skiffs applying the alum over the following two days. I will have to turn the aeration system off to allow the alum to floc and settle to the bottom, binding phosphorus as it goes.

On a separate note, we did pull the weir boards out yesterday (7/2/2025) to draw the lake down a bit due to the predicted rainfall. As of today, it appears it will not be as severe as predicted, which is good. Depending on how the weekend proceeds we will reevaluate the weir and see if we want to place those boards back in to get the lake to its normal control elevation.
