From a tick’s perspective the CSA is a target rich environment, and you are one of the targets. The problem is the abundance of deer ticks and the risk of Lyme disease. Learn more about Lyme disease, how to avoid it, and when to seek treatment in this article by Bruce Lindsay.

Crystal Lake is a special place that holds an important place in our lives. In order to preserve our natural resources and the memories it helps create, we want to bring together all the surrounding communities in support of the Crystal Lake Watershed Association in protecting Crystal Lake for generations to come.

Please join us on Saturday, July 11th, from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM at the Stormcloud Brewing Company Taproom for the 6th annual Keep Crystal Clear event. We will celebrate our beautiful resource and bring the local community together to support the CLWA over some local brews, good food, and great company. The event will feature discounted drinks, live music, and more. We hope you can join us!

Tickets to the event can be purchased in advance here or at the time of the event at the door (now accepting CC's).

For more information, please reach out to event host Coleman Schindler ([email protected])

Flooded septic system? Here’s what to do next:

After a flood, your septic system needs time and care before returning to normal use.

✔️ Be patient and allow the soil & system to fully dry
✔️ Limit water use to avoid backups into your home
✔️ Do NOT pump your tank until groundwater levels drop (this can cause serious damage)
✔️ Have your system professionally inspected for damage or clogging
✔️ If floodwater entered the tank, schedule pumping AFTER water levels recede
✔️ Get electrical components checked before turning power back on

⚠️ Avoid DIY repairs — septic systems can pose health and safety risks.

Taking the right steps now can prevent costly repairs and protect your home and water supply. 💧
