community -- after the state ruled
upgrades had to be made.

Now the group is opening up
membership to the lake for boating,
fishing and swimming- in hopes of
raising money.


The property is currently for
sale -- but until it's sold- members
are responsible for upgrades which will
cost nearly 200-thousand dollars.

The community was cited for a
number of problems it must fix to
maintain the lake -- including an
emergency spillway that doesn't meet
minimum standards.
