Soo Lake United Associati​on

9/20/2024

Good morning, Soo Lake Members,

I wanted to remind everyone that Monday, September 23rd is the when the gradual drawdown procedure starts.  If you have a contracted service removing your lifts and docks, they are scheduled to start on Monday as well. Maybe you have a neighbor that still has a pontoon or boat on a boat lift, you may want to contact them to let them know about the drawdown.

Our last lake association meeting tomorrow morning at Crane Chase Bar and Grill. The meeting is at 10:00. I hope you can make it.

Thanks again for supporting the lake association.

715-571-1058 hello fellow Soo Lake members,

The dates have been put in place for the culvert replacement. The lake will start to get drawn down at a rate of 2"- 3" a day, starting September 23rd. The last few time the lake level was reduced; it was drawn down at about 4" - 5" a day. The slower rate of water reduction is to try to maintain more of the fish population. Mark from Northern Pier will be removing the docks and piers on September 23rd and 24th. If you are a customer of his, you do not need to call him. The water level will be reduced to about 27" - 34"by the first week in October. The culvert replacement is scheduled for October 7th. Island road will be closed from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. that day. The rest of that week there will be one lane traffic across the new culvert. The water level will start to be refilled starting at the end of that week. By the middle of the following week, the water level will be at the normal winter level, which is about 10" - 12" below the summer level. This about the same time of the year that the water level is reduced anyway.

 The replacement culvert will be 3 1/2 feet wider and 2 feet taller, s it will easily provide boat and pontoon traffic through it.

Thanks again for your membership support.
