August 2026 newsletter

A note from our MPOA President Ray O’Brien 

This month we’re going to kick off an educational series based on questions I’ve continued to hear throughout the community about the MPOA. Every newsletter we’ll answer questions we’ve been gathering as part of our “Wonder Life” Program. Since becoming president, the question I hear most often is simple, “What does the MPOA do?” It’s a fair question, and where this series begins. We welcome any feedback or questions.

Lake Manager’s Report – May 2026

  1. The Wonder Lake Dam spillway repairs and upgrades got underway yesterday. The contractor’s first effort was to relieve the pressure on the stainless-steel shaft that would normally allow the west sluice gate to be cranked open, and more importantly, cranked shut. This shaft had been bent just enough to prevent the west sluice gate from operating.
