NO FERTILIZER - OCT 1 through MAY 1
NO FERTILIZER ORDINANCE
No fertilizing at all from October 1 to May 1
May 2 to September 30 - No fertilizing within 50 feet of the water's edge.
These West Bloomfield Fertilizer Codes are enforced by code enforcement officers who watch for the fertilizer trucks in neighborhoods. As they say what goes on the ground, ends up in the lake and grows weeds. If you have a lawn service contractor tell them to abide by this code. Thank You!

Three ACTION ITEMS for our community to support a healthy lake ecosystem - HERE
Electric vs Natural Lighting…DID YOU KNOW?
Recent studies show that light pollution around lakes (night illumination) inhibits zoo plankton from eating surface algae causing algae blooms that kill aquatic life and lower water quality.
Do your part for the lake by using lights that have motion sensors and do not shine or reflect across the lake surface.
Reduce the wattage of exterior bulbs near the lake front.
Michigan Riparian Magazine recommends: Aim your lighting down and illuminate only the smallest area, with wattage no greater than that needed for visibility and safety.
Light only your property, not your neighbor’s property.
