LCA Board of Directors Election

Applications available now

Members of the Board of Directors at The Lakes are an elected body of volunteers charged with managing the interests and assets of The Lakes Community Association. How effective the Board is, depends in part, upon how aware its members are of the needs of the community and how effectively they can deal with those needs. Board meetings focus on the significant needs of the community including finances, contracts, management, legal concerns, and social affairs. There's more information on the 2026 LCA Board Election on the LCA page.

Friendly Reminders

Please remember to travel the waterways as you would drive a car. Stay on the right side of all channels and make sure you have working boat lights: green on your port side (your left), red on your starboard (your right) and a white light at the stern. Please follow basic boating rules to keep our lake safe.

Please be mindful of the no-burn days that Maricopa County Air Quality Department issues. This means no outdoor fire pits and no fireplace fires. Please check Maricopa County Air Quality Department for up-to-date no-burn information.

When you walk your dog, please be courteous and pick up after your dog. The Lakes has many doggy stations with bags, please use them.

Please be respectful of your Lakes neighbors and don't throw garbage over walls or into the lake.

Homeowners, please remind your landscapers not to throw bush and tree trimmings, leaves or grass clippings into the lake.

Don't forget, starting in March you need to prep your lawn for the warm growing season. Lawns in the Lakes must be green and lush from April through September.

The city bulk trash and green pickups are usually (sometimes it changes)scheduled for the third Monday of every other month. Please put out your bulk trash items and yard trimmings no earlier than the Thursday before the Monday pickups. The dates are included on the Lakes Calendar.
