As part of its ongoing effort to preserve and improve the water quality of Lake Minnewashta, the Lake Minnewashta Preservation Association (LMPA) will be contracting with a vendor to treat aquatic invasive plants in 2026. We wish to keep all of you well informed, and this is notice that we will be treating various areas of Lake Minnewashta for curly leaf pondweed in April or May of 2026.
The treatment is for Curly-leaf pondweed(CLP) which is an invasive plant that grows in the spring and early summer. The objective of the curly leaf pondweed treatment program is to treat the heaviest growth of CLP to improve the water quality and recreational use of the lake. Planned treatment sites will be approved by the DNR if they are 150 offshore feet or more. If the approved treatment sites are within 150 feet of your property, you can provide the following:
