Buoys and Lake Safety – May 15, 2020

Good Evening LOLC Neighbors,

 On Wednesday May 13, 2020 we replaced one buoy lost during Harvey that is permitted by the SJRA and relocated one other buoy at the Longmire Pointe Cove entrance. We also relocated three buoys at the LOLC Boat ramp to funnel the boaters toward the middle and keep them away from the docks along the LOLC shoreline. By doing so we have made the area safer and hopefully there will not be a need to add any more buoys in the boat launch area. This was all done in compliance with the SJRA.

 It is now up to the homeowners along LOLC shorelines to watch and see if boaters violate the buoy rules. If they do the homeowners should first take a photo or video of the violating vessel and report the incident to the Constable Precinct 1 at 936-539-7821 and/or Dispatch at 936-760-5800. If you can’t get a photo or video, you should still call and report the incident requesting an officer patrol the area. The link for the Lake Conroe Rules and Regulations is http://www.sjra.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Lake-Conroe-Rules-and-Regulations-2015.pdf for your information.

 We ask you advise your guests that may be using your watercraft or coming to visit in theirs that they abide by these rules. This message needs to be shared with all, as watercraft belonging to LOLC residents have been observed going too fast in our coves. It is also requested everyone be aware the boat launch area is for LOLC Resident boating only and shall not be used for parking vehicles not associated with boating.

 Thank you to David Perciful, Jim Noser, and Ken Matre for their help in working the buoys.

 Be safe when boating,
Your 2020 LOLC Board
