Lake Maintenance
13 14
April 1, 2025
8 Civic Center
Campus Lake
• Constructed in 2002
• 2.53 acres
• 825,000 gallons of water
• Two lake pumps
• One Fountain jet pump
• An upper and lower lake,
stream and waterfall
Lake Pumps
• Lake pumps have an expected life span of up to
twenty years or less. • Pump #1, pulls water from the skimmer baskets, and is currently struggling, it will need to be
replaced. • Pump #2, was replaced with a new pump in
January 2025, the new pump was running
smoothly at installation. • Pump #2, pulls water from the biological filter (bio filter) located at the bottom of the lower lake and
provides water to the geyser.
• Currently the pumps are not able to pull enough
water through the inlet pipes due to blockage.
15 16
April 1, 2025
9 Bio Filter
• The bio filter is located at the lower lake
and is made of layers of rock and stone.
• The purpose is to filter debris and
sediment from entering the intake pipe to
the pump.
• Recommended maintenance for the bio
filter to be cleaned and/or replaced is
every 15 to 20 years.
• This work has not been performed.
Draining the Lake
• The lake would need to be drained in
order to clean or replace the bio filter.
• Temporary construction fencing would
be installed around the lake.
• The bottom lake level would be
lowered by pumping the water out of
the lake.
• Unknown issues may be discovered
once the lake is drained.
• It is anticipated to take over two weeks
to clean or replace the bio filter.

April 1, 2025
10 Wildlife
• The lake was not built to maintain wildlife;
however, the lake contains fish and turtles.
• Staff is working with Better Wildlife Management
to ensure best practices are utilized for the safety
of the fish and turtles.
• Fish would be transferred to the upper lake, a
temporary circulation system would be installed.
• Turtles are being re-homed to private
lakes/ponds as they burrow into the bio filter and
can cause damage to the lake.
• To protect the wildlife, staff suggests performing
this work soon before the temperatures get too
hot.
Questions
• Chris Beaty from Southwest
Aquatics is in attendance
today and;
• David Priego from Variable
