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. 
  • Tasteless, colorless, and odorless, and is found in many types of soil and rocks.
  • Can enter homes and other buildings through cracks in foundations, sump pump crocks, crawl spaces, or other openings.
  • Classified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a Class A carcinogen - one that is known to cause cancer in humans.
Radon can build up to dangerous levels. The only way to know your home's radon level is to test! Washtenaw County Health Department offers much more information about radon -- including levels and maps, testing and mitigation -- on its website, here.
 
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.

2026 Annual Meeting Summary
Posted on Mar 26th, 2026
LAIA Board President Brian Daugherty hosted the Association Annual Meeting on March 25 in Webster Township Hall with the assistance of the other officers and directors. With more than the required quorum in attendees and absentee ballots, votes were tallied and the results announced to the members present:
  • The annual assessment of $825 per household was approved.
  • Candidates elected to the Board of Directors are incumbents Brian Daugherty and Tom Bellisario, and new directors Dina Zemke and Ben Logan. The Board thanked Alex Leaven, Roger Fraser and Jonathan Comish for running for election and for their willingness to serve.
  • The annual Loch Alpine Award for exemplary volunteer service to the community was awarded to Andrea Dorney for her outstanding service and dedication as the LAIA representative on the board of the Loch Alpine Sanitary Authority (LASA).
  • Loch Alpine "Thank You" mugs were given to board Secretary David Stockson, Treasurer Lucy Cohen, Jim Schulz and John Van Saders (co-chairs, Architectural Control Committee), Brian McCall (chair, Roads Committee) and Kris Snow for her many years repairing and replacing Loch Alpine mailboxes.
President Daugherty thanked the many volunteer committee chairs and members for their good works on behalf of our community, including outgoing Treasurer Cohen and Secretary Stockson for their many years of service on the board and on committees.
 
The winners of the drawing for a 50% reduction in their annual assessment are the Beck and the Hanchak households.

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.
  • Dog owners who always leash their dogs even when they wish they didn’t have to
  • Neighbors who are frightened by unleashed dogs -- even “friendly” ones
  • Dogs who tend to be frightened by other dogs (or act aggressively toward them) 
  • The animals, birds, and other wildlife with whom we share this special place.
Respectfully yours,
The Loch Alpine Board of Directors

The Loch Alpine Award
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.
