Question Strange Times...

Do we really have a problem?

My Florida lake had a sudden development of boat houses with electric hoists. That worked for two decades until we had a drought.



Starting for a couple of years, none could lower their boats--except onto sand!

Even mowing their lawns had them mowing another 100 feet to the end of their docks!

A new spillway, initiated by my unaffected neighbor, has fixed rhat--except now, fertilized lawns are being eroded into a once-pristine lake.



My NH dock, "original" including every board (save one) from 1985, has served me well. But my many decades of "under-sized" boats have limited any unhappy experiences.

My neighbor with a "wake boat", can't get his boat onto his hydraulic lift, so has just moved it to his Jet-Ski mooring.



I'm Southeast and downwind, so is my secure dock of 40 years endangered?

My neighbors are sharing a deep well; apparently with no permit problem. (They share a leachfield, too). Maybe those folks with a dry-well problem can ask a neighbor?
