Canvassing and Yard Signs
It is a long-standing Association policy that door-to-door solicitation is not permitted in our neighborhood. This includes persons selling products or services, fundraising, canvassing for political candidates or proposals, promoting religious organizations or missions, and seeking signatures for petitions other than LAIA matters. In this election season, regardless of your political interest, if someone comes to your door on behalf of a candidate or political proposal, please inform them that door-to-door canvassing is not permitted in Loch Alpine and politely ask them to leave. If the person becomes argumentative, close your door.

And on another election matter, the LAIA Board asks for everyone’s cooperation in the display of yard signs for candidates. The Restriction Agreement is clear: “No sign of any kind shall be displayed to the public view on any lot except… advertising the property for sale or for rent, or signs used by the builder to advertise the property during the construction and sales period.” Over the years, the Board has allowed that political signs may be displayed up close to the house, not near the street, and must be removed immediately after an election. Any signs posted along LAIA road right-of-way may be removed and discarded.
LASA Test Results
The first set of lead and copper tests from 20 homes in Loch Alpine were sent in June to the State of Michigan for evaluation. The State sent its evaluation to Loch Alpine Sanitary Authority (LASA) at the end of August, reporting that all of the tested sites were within state standards and did not require any corrective actions.

Lakes Test Results Very Good
The second round of tests for E.coli in Loch Alpine Lakes showed a level of 6/100 ml in the upper lake and 0/100 ml in the lower lake. Very safe for swimming. Anything above 300 E.coli/100 mL for a single sample is considered "unsafe" for swimming at the time the sample was collected. Thanks again to Lakes Committee member Cindy Walton for conducting the tests.
