Village Sign Painting
At the request of The Village Property Owners’ Association (POA), in-house staff repainted The Village entrance sign. The Village POA is paying The Landings Association for this work.
Irrigation Repair at Delegal Creek Marina Sunset Room
In-house staff repaired an irrigation line at Delegal Creek Marina’s Sunset Pavilion that was damaged for the third time this year. Staff installed bollards around the utility box to prevent future damage to the lines.
2025 Stop Bar and Crosswalk Road Striping Program
KM Striping completed this year’s Stop Bar and Crosswalk Road Striping ProgramStop Bar. Approximately 181 stop bars and 37 crosswalks were restriped in Midpoint, Marshview Landing, along Landings Way South, Lake Street & Westridge (TLA owned streets in The Village).
Road Cutback Program
Road cutbacks continued this week along Landings Way South and Landings Way North. Once these areas have been completed, they will progress to the Main Gate. This program is completed annually and encompasses lifting the canopies up over the roadways to provide proper heights for emergency vehicles and other large vehicles within the community.
Lagoon Turnover – Lagoon 76
Staff was notified about a fish kill this week in Lagoon 76 (located on the 15th hole of the Palmetto golf course). Staff responded to the fill kill and will continue to monitor the lagoon to ensure water quality parameters stabilize.
Fish kills typically occur during extreme hide tide events in our brackish lagoons closest to the marsh. There are several reasons for the low levels of dissolved oxygen. When we receive higher than normal tides, saltwater lagoons located around the island’s perimeter can be inundated by large quantities of saltwater flowing back into the system. This dramatic change in water temperature and chemistry caused some saltwater lagoons to turn a milky brown color and resulted in some fish dying. This natural phenomenon is commonly referred to as “Turnover”, which refers to the mixing of two water column layers. This occurrence happens when cool water layers over the top of the lagoon. Once a substantial amount of water collects on the lagoon surface, it will fall through the upper water column, resulting in a violent mixing of the two layers. Oxygen levels in the lagoon waters will decline significantly, causing the weaker fish to die. This process is compounded as fish start to die further deoxygenating the water, worsening the oxygen parameters for the living fish. After the initial mixing occurs, the water columns will naturally start rebuilding oxygen levels as the lagoon stabilizes.
