There seems to be more and more problems with the Crystal Lake, mostly caused by nature. Aquatic plants are causing problems for boaters and the aquatic plants are thriving because the zebra mussels are residents of the lake. This species was not placed in the lake. They came in probably on boats from other bodies of water where they reside. They have done a good job of cleaning the lake water so that the aquatic plants grow better.
This coming Wednesday, the Park District plans to do some cleaning of the aquatic plants to make boat navigations a little smoother. Plans are being made to do dredging on the west end of the lake, possibly in October. This was discussed at Thursday evenings Park Board meeting and costs are being obtained from Hey and Associates for the dredging work.
