Lake Tibet Beach Update

A brief update on the Lake Tibet Beach Rehab Project...

In late September, a beach rehabilitation project was begun to remove weeds from the beach and create a more delineated zone for new beach sand, all in an effort to beautify the beach area. 

One of our Lake Association Board members volunteered to do a significant amount of the work associated with the project, from supply coordination to the actual work itself. Other residents have been volunteering as well to move the project along. The work has been coordinated with the Town of Kent. 

Unfortunately, some inclement weather has slowed progress but we thank all of the residents of the Lake Tibet community for your continued patience. 

A more detailed update will be presented at the Lake Tibet Meeting on October 28th. Hope to see you there!
