Road Seal Scheduled For May 28 and 29
The roads that were recently covered with chips are slated for “fog” sealing, weather permitting, on Thursday and Friday, May 28 and 29. This sealing cannot be done if it rains. Work may begin as early as 7:00 am and continue as late as 6:00 pm. The road will remain open during the work as the road is seal-coated one side at a time so the opposite side can be travelled on. Fog seal top coat requires 1-2 hours minimal cure time.
Traffic will be permitted on one side of these roads until the seal coat has cured. If you live on these roads and need to use your car during these hours you can use the uncured side of the road, driving over new sealing slowly to enter the dried side of the road.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact Brian McCall by email at mccallbrian@msn.com or by phone at 426-4546.
Huron River Drive Closed May 31
For the annual Dexter-Ann Arbor Run on Sunday, May 31, Huron River Drive will be closed to motor traffic from 8:00 to 11:30 a,m. During that time, residents needing to leave Loch Alpine should exit to the north or east to Joy Road. Park Drinking Fountain Tested
Recently, LAIA Board Director Bob Sendra sent a water sample from the Loch Alpine park drinking fountain to the County Health Department to test for lead content. The lead action level in drinking water in Michigan is 12 ppb (0.012 mg/L). The sample test measured from our park drinking fountain is <0.001. We're good. Spring Yard Clean-up
Please remove leaves and debris from ditches, and clear as much debris as possible from culverts adjacent to your lot. This will help proper drainage and reduce water on our streets. Don't like bagging leaves? Consider mulching or shredding leaves and raking it back into the grass, into garden and flower beds, and scattering it around the roots and stems of plants. Open burning of leaves and yard debris in Loch Alpine is not permitted by Scio Township. Branches and logs may be burned for recreational fires, e.g. pit fires, outdoor fireplaces. Open burning in Webster Township requires a burn permit; but leaf burning has not been an accepted practice in Loch Alpine for a long time, for air quality reasons.
No dumping of any yard waste is allowed on any LA property, such as around the lakes and natural areas.

Barking Dogs
Incessant barking by a dog can create a lot of irritation among neighbors. Both Scio and Webster townships have nuisance ordinances about barking dogs that they will enforce, as well as the County Sheriff’s Office. So, if your pet has a tendency to bark and howl a lot, please be mindful of your neighbors. Home Safety Tests Any home can have a radon problem. Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas formed by the breakdown of uranium.
Your drinking water is regularly tested for lead and copper. Loch Alpine Sanitary Authority (LASA), conducts these tests. Water flowing from LASA wells, the water tower and lines typically tests well within the acceptable limits for lead and copper.
However, lead in your drinking water can occur in house lines and faucets, particularly older homes. Lead pipes were often used in homes built before 1988, and lead components were used in some plumbing fixtures until 2014.
Washtenaw County offers more information about lead in drinking water and testing for lead within your home on its website, here. LAIA Officers and Committee Leaders

An Open Letter to Dog Owners
Most of you leash your dogs while walking them on Loch Alpine streets, parks and pathways. The entire Loch Alpine community thanks you for being law-abiding and courteous in this way.
To those who sometimes take your dog off leash, we have a short but earnest request: Please don’t. Even good dogs need to be leashed at all times.
Respectfully yours,
The Loch Alpine Board of Directors

LOCH ALPINE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION LOCH ALPINE AWARD
The Loch Alpine Award was established by the Loch Alpine Improvement Association to recognize a person or persons who have demonstrated Exemplary efforts, Commitment and Dedication to the Loch Alpine Community.
In recognition and appreciation of her important service for the community, the Loch Alpine Board of Directors has selected Andrea Dorney as the 2026 Loch Alpine Award recipient. She has generously donated her time by actively participating as our representative on the board of the Loch Alpine Sanitary Authority (LASA). It is a completely separate legal entity and public utility. We appoint one member to its board and, as a very knowledgeable water and sanitation expert, Andrea has worked diligently to improve LASA’s organization and communication methods, make LASA more transparent and customer focused, and help our residents get assistance when needed.
Thank you, Andrea!
The Loch Alpine Improvement Association is proud to have honored recipients of the Loch Alpine Award since 2001 (prior to 2013, the award was designated the Sendra Award). The previous recipients can be found here.
