State And County Election Needs Our Attention
Idaho primaries are upon us. Those elected to county offices will have the ability to impact the Hayden Lake watershed and all who live and play within its boundaries. Voting in this election is one way to contribute to the mission of the Improvement District. That is, to protect and enhance the water quality and the environmental quality within the Hayden Lake watershed.

Don’t Forget Your Site Disturbance Permit
It’s hard, as individual property owners, to embrace the impact that a single decision – like proceeding with a project before permit approval – has on our surroundings. The effect isn’t immediate, and it isn’t a direct reaction to our choices. It takes time for the chain reaction to play out. Ask the 5, 10, 15, and 20-year residents whether Hayden Lake’s water is as clear, or the bottom as sandy, or the shoreline as raw and unfettered as it used to be.

Lake Level: Consider the Inflows and Outflows
The elevation of Hayden Lake, like other small lakes in North Idaho, is not managed. There are no dams on the streams that feed the lake, no gates open or close to control storage levels. There are also no controls on the out-flow. The lake elevation is entirely subject to Mother Nature and human usage.
