Immediately after the FLTF quarterly board meeting on Tuesday, March 2, there will be a Special Assessment District informational session with an open question and answer period. 

Property owners on Wixom Lake are reminded that the Tobacco side of the Edenville Dam will be drawn down per regulatory order. ​​In the unlikely event that you experience issues with your well after the Wixom Lake drawdown, please reach out to one of the following for assistance:

​The lake levels of each of the four lakes are legally established, along with the Four Lakes Special Assessment District. This was done under Part 307, Inland Lakes, of Michigan Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act. P.A. 451 of 1994 as amended.

The Four Lakes Task Force (FLTF) started 2020 with a signed purchase agreement with Boyce Hydro on December 31, 2019. As the Delegated Authority on behalf of Gladwin and Midland counties, we were in the process of securing interim financing, performing winter repairs on Edenville Dam, and scheduling special assessment hearings, with a plan to enter into the purchase of the dams in June. The May 19, 2020 rain event and dam failures changed everything.

2020 was an incredibly busy year and there is much work to do in 2021. Check out our 2020 Annual Operating Plan for an update on our progress and priorities.
