Welcome to Lake Singletary Watershed Association

The Lake Singletary Watershed Association wishes all our members and neighbors a safe, healthy, and prosperous 2021. Spring has sprung and we had a great turnout for our traditional Earth Day Cleanup on April 24. It won't be long before our 4th of July Boat Parade! We look forward to seeing all of you on and around the lake for another safe, happy, and healthy summer season!

Earth Day Clean Up

The annual Lake Singletary Earth Day Cleanup was held as planned on April 24th. We had a great turnout and result. Thank you members for your support!

Couldn’t join us? You can always help in many ways:

Consider watering lawns with lake water as a replacement for commercial fertilizer – lake water has many vital nutrients and some people have reported good results. Even small amounts of commercial fertilizer leaching in the lake promotes rapid weed and algae growth.
If you choose to fertilize, always use low phosphorous options – they are more expensive than regular options initially, but pays us back in many ways – including less need for reactive treatments to the watershed.
Never point grass clippings or leaf blowers towards the lake – that too accelerates invasive species, weeds and algae.
Control your wake when lake levels are high. There is danger of septic leaching and damage to shoreline ecosystems.
Dim the lights. The lake provides a natural mirror which sends flood and ornamental light further than you might think. Please consider your neighbor across the lake when placing lights. Point lights downward when possible to avoid light pollution.
