Lake Ponemah
Zebra mussels may be making Lake Ponemah in Michigan clearer, but it's also making aquatic weeds grow at an unhealthy level. The clearer water is allowing more sunlight to get to weeds and helping them grow. The Fenton Township Board reviewed a five-year weed and plant management plan. The plan will cost lake residents $346,105 or $69,221 a year from 2008-2011.
Last year lake residents paid $131 each for a special assessment, but this year that will climb to $189 and then $186 for the remaining four years.
