Inlet Dredging Updates
As of October 5th, the Inlet dredging project is complete, removing 45,330 cubic yards of sediment from the Delevan Lake Inlet. The project was completed 3 weeks early and within budget. Right now, equipment is being dismantled and JND Thomas, the dredging company, will soon be on their way to their next job.
Thanks to JND Thomas Company and the Town's project manager, Peter Berrini, of HDR Engineering for a very well-run project and for keeping the public informed by posting thorough reports including plans, updates and photos on the Town's website.

How Do Towns Take Care
of Their Lakes?
Recently the DLIA assisted the Town Lake Committee by conducting a survey of Lake Associations and Lake Districts throughout the State of Wisconsin to determine how other communities fund projects to improve and maintain the health of their lakes. During the course of this work, the DLIA recorded a variety of problems experienced as well as many different ways of planning, collaborating, & working to resolve the problems. This information was compiled in a report presented to the Lake Committee in July.
Our report offers our conclusions and recommendations, including a list of “best practices” found in success stories from these Lakes. Please take a look at the full report in our “DLIA In Action” section above.

DLIA Annual Meeting
Thanks to all who attended the Annual Meeting of the Delavan Lake Improvement Association on Saturday, October 8, 2011.
Election of the DLIA directors took place, including two new Directors to the Board. The DLIA increased its membership to 324 families and businesses. The Town Chair Ryan Simons complimented the DLIA's important role in being "instrumental" in completion of the Inlet Project and the continued needs of the Town and Lake Committee for DLIA input, advocacy, and liaison roles in such matters as Lake Monitoring, Funding, Development Projects, Lake Management
Projects, and the WIN efforts.
Lake Turnover
At a recent DLIA Board of Directors meeting, the topic of "Lake Turnover" came up, and we determined that many of us did not know what that meant. New Board Member, Kay Beers, located the interesting details for us. Take a look!
Board of Directors Election
Election for the DLIA Board of Directors was held at the Annual Meeting. We said goodbye – and thank you – to Ray Granzow who retired after serving six years on the board. Re-elected for 3-year terms were Nancy Coglianese and Tom Johnson.
We also welcomed new Board Members Kay Beers and Roxanne Francis. Learn more about them and their interest in Delavan Lake using the link below:
