• Lake Doctors was made aware the North Lake Fountain lights were not working again.  Upon inspection the circuit breaker was tripped again. This is indicating a water leak in one of the light housings.  The light housing is not replaceable and the lights are no longer under warranty.  The estimate to replace the lights with the same Aquamaster/Airmax 4 light system and a new 300 ft cord is $3,224.99.  This light system comes with a three year warranty.  The board is reviewing the estimate for next steps.
