Welcome to the Zebra Mussel Prevention Training Website
Protect our lake from this dangerous invasive species.
Zebra mussels are a threatening invasive species, and they are making their way closer to our lake. Zebra mussels are costly in many ways. We can protect our lake lifestyle, our property, and our home values, by PREVENTING the introduction of zebra mussels into our lake waters.
PREVENTION IS THE ONLY OPTION. Once this species is introduced, there is no known way to remove these invasive creatures from the lake.
We have produced this short training program to educate our residents and our guests about the dangers of zebra mussels and the steps we must take to prevent them.

These were developed to protect our lifestyle and our investments - for all of us as a community. 2. Watch the Video, "Don't Move a Mussel." Click the Video Tab (above) then click the Play button (>) to view the video. The run time is approximately 13 minutes. 3. Complete the "Zebra Mussel Verification Form" (tab above), and submit it to the city office. You may use the E-Verification or the Print Verification and return it to the Association office in the DropBox. At least one adult member of each household is required to complete the Verification Form. Boat and Dock Stickers will only be issued to households that fulfill this requirement. |
