Lake level permit applied for by the US Geological Survey
The Department of the Interior US Geological Survey has applied for a permit through the WDNR this spring to install a continuous water level recorder at Berry Lake in 2013. The equipment will consist of an on-shore aluminum enclosure along with buried conduit that will be trenched form the enclosure to the shoreline and then below the lake bed out to a point where it can be anchored to the lake bed. The permit application cam be viewed here. If residents have any question about this installation or permitting process, they can contact Ryan Jirik (715-3627468) or Paul Juckem - Hydrologist,U.S. Geological Survey, Wisconsin Water Science Center (608-821-3845).

4th of July competition @ BERRY LAKE 2012
This year's 4th of July theme proved to be especially difficult, but the Holman family pulled it off once again with their variation on the theme! "Sesame Street" on Safari won 1st place by default (as no other boats competed in the contest this year) in the boat parade on July 30th.
They win $50.00 for their last minute efforts. The judges decided that the 2nd and 3rd place prize amounts (of $35 and $25) will be put into the prize winnings for the 2013 dock/beach decorating contest...the theme next year will be "Super Heroes", hopefully not so difficult to pull off. Congrats to the Holman's who always go that extra mile and keep the 4th of July spirit alive @ Berry Lake!!!
