PLM will be treating the lake today for weeds and algae. Optional treatments may occur later this summer depending on lake conditions.
As reported at the annual meeting, PLM has identified a new hybrid strain of milfoil in our lake that requires a different treatment method. The primary difference for lake residents is that there is a 30 day restriction on using water from the lake to supply your home sprinkler system, as pumping water from the lake after treatment may reduce the concentration of the herbicide in the lake and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. There is also a one day swimming restriction.
Of course, you may still use city or well water to water your plants and lawn.
If you have additional questions about this treatment, please contact our PLM representative Jaime Desjardins at 616-891-1294.
The Dean Lake Association Board of Directors has called a special meeting of the Board for Wednesday, May 14, at 7:00pm at New Community Church, 2340 Dean Lake Avenue NE. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the May 2, 2025, notice of special assessment from the Kent County Drain Commissioner regarding the drain pump project and to consider whether the Association shall take any action as an organization related to the notice. The Board anticipates having legal counsel in attendance to advise the Association on this topic.
All members of the Association are invited to attend.
If you have any questions or comments on this topic that you would like to share with the Board in advance of the meeting, please direct them to Board President Bryan Walters at bryanrwalters@gmail.com

The board has also decided unanimously that based on the lower water levels combined with the reality that a drain project wouldn’t be possible till a minimum of 2022 that it’s prudent to address using Dean Lake as the ALL SPORT lake that it is in a way that is respectful to those with shorelines that are most affected by the higher water levels. Please see the attached Illustration for reference of direction/path for boating with a wake.
