Lake Alert: Blue Green Algae
The following information was posted on the Lake Pulaski LID website and emailed to Lakeshore property owners:
Hello all,
We wanted to make you aware of a very suspicious algae bloom currently taking place on Lake Pulaski.
We have asked the resident to perform the “at home test” to see if we can receive more definitive information, however, the pictures provided certainly look suspect.
As the resident has noted, while there may no longer be swimming at this lake, there are certainly individuals still heading to the water to go fishing, or even have their dogs take a dip in the lake.
We would like to see some warning signs posted to the beaches and boat landings associated with this lake regarding this current algae bloom, as soon as possible. (Warning signs are also attached above. If additional languages are needed, please see the link below).
It is our understanding the DNR may have some jurisdiction over some of these areas, so they have been included in this email thread as well. I was not able to find the appropriate contacts at Wright County, so maybe you can assist us with this, and provide us with the best contact to reach out to.
It’s recommended that the warning signs get laminated so they are not ruined in any inclement weather. Just because it isn’t as warm as it has been, we don’t want anyone to let their guard down concerning any active algae blooms.
Dogs can easily be poisoned from a toxic blue-green algae bloom just by walking on the shoreline, (as in the picture above), and then licking the substance off of their fur and/or paws. It remains to be a very dangerous situation for any dog (or other animal) to be around at this time.
If you have any questions, please reach back out.
Kind regards,
Katie Coyne

Why Your PLSA Membership Matters
As a member of the PLSA Association, you help maintain access to some of the most valued features of our community. The Association owns and manages private property for members only, including the landing, beach, boat launches and rented dock spaces. These amenities are not open to the general public - making them a unique benefit of living in our neighborhood.
Beyond convenience and enjoyment, these shared spaces also contribute to the overall value of our properties. Clean, well-maintained, and accessible lakefront amenities are something we can all take pride in.
Maintaining these areas requires ongoing funding for upkeep, repairs, and insurance. Strong membership ensures that we can continue to care for these spaces properly.
If membership were to decline significantly, there is a risk that these properties could eventually become public. This could lead to increased traffic, heavier use of the lake and added strain on our neighborhood.
Your membership plays an important role is preserving the quality, privacy, and character of our community. Thank you for being part of what makes PLSA a great place to live.
Membership to PLSA is restricted to Property owners and Renters within the Pulaski Lake Shores neighborhood.
Membership is required to use PLSA facilities and property.
Short Term Rentals
Property owners who operate short-term rentals and wish for their tenants to have access to PLSA property must obtain a Tenant Use License. Short-term rentals are defined as rentals of six months or less. For 2025, the short-term rental fee is $2,000 per property (fees are subject to change). The Tenant Use License application must be completed and submitted to the PLSA board for approval. The Tenant Use License form is available in the Resource Center or here.
Updated Dock Space Guidelines
As presented at the 2024 Fall Membership meeting, the membership approved to update the Dock Space Guidelines. The updated Dock Space guidelines are available in the Resource Center or here.
