Water Quality Update - Regarding Recent Rainfall
***Please be AWARE***
Dear LLPOA Membership,
Due to the recent heavy rainfall washing away off lake properties & shoreline lawn nutrients and dumping them into our lakes and fertilizing it we have been getting numerous Member Concerns on our north lake around blue green algae blooms.
We are working with our lake applicator to schedule a treatment ASAP. Unfortunately, the earliest they can get us scheduled is Thursday or Friday of next week. With these types of blooms they can be gone in an instant, we’ll keep our appointment and make the call next week
If you are experiencing a green or blue green film that looks like someone spilled paint in the water, we are advising you and your pets to stay out of the water and NOT make any contact with it.
These occurrences usually happen in the AM and dissipate in the afternoon, but we have had a couple of incidents on the NL, south end where the blooms have been present most of the day. Mother Nature is in control of when and where they will appear. This is not usually a whole lake opportunity, just the shorelines downwind of the prevailing weather pattern.
Below is an Algae Awareness message from the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services:

ABOUT LAKE LEANN:
Lake LeAnn is a private “All Sports” lake community, comprised of two separate lake basins with approximately 470 total acres of water and approximately 9 miles of shoreline. Our water levels are controlled by two man-made dams. The two man-made lakes were developed in the early 1960’s on 1,250 acres of assembled farm properties and existing small natural lakes. Lake Leann forms the headwaters of the Grand River, the longest river in Michigan (260 miles). Our community now includes 2,201 platted lots, with 743 Lakefront properties and 1,458 Lake access properties in 15 developed subdivisions.
Our beautiful private community offers numerous amenities including clear spring water, beautiful sandy beaches, private parks with gated boat launches, many paved roads with picturesque subdivisions of mature hardwood and pine trees. Our natural non-suburban environment is rich with wildlife and scenic views in all four-seasons. We are truly a spectacular private development that is one of the real jewels in the vicinity of the Irish Hills.
In 2020 a state-of-the art laminar flow aeration system was installed to help maintain our water quality and assure the continued recreational enjoyment of our lakes. We have approximately 14 varieties of fish in our lakes, predominantly warm water species and our Association continues to restock the lakes annually. Member anglers enjoy great fishing on our lakes year-round.
Our community is managed by a strong Lake LeAnn Property Owners Association, with a 15-Member Board of Directors. The efforts of our Member/Board and Committees have helped to keep housing values very strong.
With nearby communities of Somerset Center, Brooklyn, Addison, Jonesville, Hillsdale and Jackson, we have an abundance of golfing, shopping and restaurants with much to see and do. The Michigan International Speedway is a short 12-miles away.
Lake LeAnn is located in Hillsdale County, on U.S. Highway 12, west of Somerset Center, in the beautiful and historic Irish Hills vicinity. The Old Sauk Trail (now Highway-12), is rich in history and widely known for its natural beauty. This territory was originally known to the Indians and then traveled by the early settlers moving west from Detroit to Chicago and was also traveled by LaSalle and the fur traders.
