BORING THE WATER MAINS

Progress on the installation of the new water main continues on schedule. The final "boring" section was completed this week when the company bored underneath the Cordry Sweetwater stone wall entrance. Now that the boring sections are complete, the main lines along Nineveh Road will be "dug" using conventional methods.

PITCH IN AND HELP EACH OTHER

Employees at the Cordry Sweetwater Conservancy Office sometimes go way beyond their job descriptions. Nick and Stacey at the office were caught hooking up the pick-up truck to the patrol boat trailer in preparation of launching the Cordry patrol boat.

GARAGE SALE

The annual fire department garage sale occurs this Saturday, April 30th. Don't miss the social event of the season.

GRADING THE FIELD

SRS DREDGING appeared today to level out the field across from the beach. This area was the deposit area for spoils from the dredging on Sweetwater and Cordry for the past 5 years. Now that era has passed and living up to the contract, SRS is back grading and seeding the field. What has been a bit of an eye sore for the past few years will now be a nice green field.

FIREWORKS DATE CHANGE

Due to conflicting schedules, the annual July fireworks show on Sweetwater will be July 1st, 2017. Change those calendars.

NEW BEACH HOUSE

Work has begun on the second Sweetwater Lake Beach House. A second facility has been needed for some time due to reservations for use in the summer months.

ICE CREAM SOCIAL

The CSLOA sponsored "ice cream social" was held at the clubhouse today. Approximately 15 vendors including local contractors, tree companies, Conservancy info, real estate companies and others made a spectacular showing......and the ice cream was good!

GARDEN TIME!

The Conservancy workers Josh and Mike have cleared an area and installed raised garden boxes near the walking track for the local garden club. I believe all are spoken for. The area will be fenced to keep the deer out.

WELCOME BACK TO THE LAKES

The redbuds are blooming and it's time to come back to the lakes. The CSLOA is sponsoring a "welcome back to the lakes" this Saturday at the clubhouse. Word has it that some local contractors and other vendors will be there to share their wares. Stop by and say hello and have a dish of ice cream.

ROAD CLEAN UP FUN

The Nineveh Road Clean Up had the best turn out ever in spite of a chilly morning. The CSCD supplied Josh and son with truck to haul the bagged trash. The CSLOA opened the clubhouse for pre collection warm ups and apre' clean up get together with refreshments. In approximately 2 hours the job was done. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped.
