Welcome to the Lake Altoona Rehabilitation and Protection District website, we hope to keep you informed on issues pertaining to your investment in Lake Altoona
 

Welcome!
Lake Altoona residents and users.

Hi Everyone,

Just two quick items for you to know about:

  • The lake level is raised to its summer level beginning the second Monday after ice-off, so there are two weekends if there are any projects that you would like to do before then. This year that means the lake will be going up beginning Monday, April 2nd.
  • Now that the dredging project is complete, our board meetings have reduced to as-needed, but at least quarterly. If you are interested, the next one will be Thursday April 5th, 5:30pm.


Thanks,
Matt Weber
Lake Altoona District Chair

The objective of the Lake District is to maintain the quality of Lake Altoona
for all residents of Eau Claire County. The Lake District derives it funding from taxes levied on its members.

Good news for Wisconsin lakes!
The state assembly passed a bill to prohibit lawn fertilizers that contain phosphorous.
Read here why that’s a very good thing.
