FBLID 11 Lake Edge Repair Update
May 16, 2012
The lake edge repair project is progressing well despite some setbacks caused by recent rain events in April and early May. To date, the main lake is approximately 75% complete with the gabion installation. The smaller lake on the north side of Riverbrook Drive along with the smaller cove area are the next areas to be under construction. Over the next few weeks, the contractor will be transitioning into those areas as well as preparing the main lake to begin receiving any future rain water. The remaining work is anticipated to take an additional 8-10 weeks (weather depending). Once complete, the contractor will begin the final phase of construction which is final grading, turf establishment, and clean up.
The District and the contractor are very appreciative of the patience and understanding of the residents of Greatwood thus far. We ask that you continue to be patient until project completion. Everyone is working hard to complete this project as quickly and economically as possible. The Board looks forward to opening up the lake again very soon to the residents of Greatwood.

Update on Greatwood Lake Shoreline Erosion Repairs
January 17, 2012
Greatwood Residents:
Preliminary work has begun on the Greatwood Lake Shoreline restoration project, however; actual repairs will begin after the first of the year. Pollution control requires a short plastic barrier be installed around the entire lake. Construction access to the lake comes from Greatwood Lake Dr near the mailbox, through the park at the end of the cove off Riverbrook Dr, the golf course off Riverbrook near hole 10, and near Greatwood at Sugar Land Retirement Center and hole 11. Of course, all areas will be restored as closely as possible to their original condition after construction is complete.
The work is planned to be done inside the lake to minimize interference with the golf course or residents. The plan is to drain the lake approximately 20 feet from the edges to allow equipment to operate. An old creek runs through the lake where it should be deeper and therefore continue to hold some water to help the wildlife. The contractor included a temporary aeration system to help keep the lake healthy. Dead fish, if any, will be removed by the contractor. The contractor will do all he can to protect the wildlife.
