2020 Dam Report

The 2020 Lakewood Village Dam Report is in!  Here is the Summary.  The full report can be found in the box below.

1.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

A field inspection of the Lakewood Village was performed on November 16, 2020. This inspection, along with analysis of the Dam’s dynamics, has determined that Lakewood Village Dam is overall in excellent condition. 

The new structure was constructed in 2012 and is operating as designed. The Lakewood Village Dam is in very good condition, however, during the inspection there were a couple of items which need some regular maintenance and should be monitored and/or corrected during routine maintenance in the spring of 2021. These items are as follows: 

1) Depressions and eroded areas along the shoreline of Brendel Lake at the outlet pipes. The gabion baskets installed with the reconstruction of the outlet structure are still in good condition, but the shoreline on each side of baskets is eroding. There is no major urgency, but these areas need to be watched for continued erosion. 

2) Lake Neva Shoreline Erosion. There is some shoreline erosion along the west side of Biscayne Street, but it is very minor and just needs to be monitored.
