AERATION BUBBLERS & CIRCULATION PUMPS
If you are using a device to keep open water around your pier, a permit is required (as of 2013).
The Silver Creek Township board approved Resolution 22-16 and amended Ordinance Section 90.01 as follows:
The installation and use of aerators, bubblers or any other device that prevents the formation of ice to occur on the surface of any lake is prohibited except; when an “aeration” or “bubbler” or “circulation pump” permit has been issued and all conditions being met. It is the property owner’s sole responsibility to maintain and ensure that the operation of the device does not harm the public or limit or create an unsafe use of the lake/ice area.
A permit can be obtained at the township hall from the Supervisor as follows:
Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday 9am -12pm.
Permits are good only for the current season (Nov-Oct) and cost $100.00 per year if paid by November 30th, otherwise the fee increases to $175 when paid
The township bubbler program will be enforced by the ordinance enforcement officer.
