Thanks for the concern. Yes, we did work with Maricopa County and provided them quagga handouts for those entering the Lake Pleasant Regional Park via the manned entryway, and we are actively working to get signage in place there at the launch ramps. We also have some highway billboards up – one is I-17 just past the Highway 101 interchange. We are also sending quagga information to all registered boat owners in the state. Rory Allen

Still no flyers or notices to boaters when they enter the park. Powell did a very strong public campaign and informs every boater entering. Sure it was only a matter of time since no one knows about it. Well it is a shame that more is not done to educate the public! Still no flyers or notices to boaters when they enter the park.

However, the pressure washing systems cost a bundle. The Lake Mead National Recreation Area has already installed some. Most of the lakes in central AZ are operated by the U.S. Forest Service. Lake Pleasant is operated by two entities – Maricopa County and Lake Pleasant Harbor and Marina. It is doubtful that those entities will have such stations up and operating any time soon.</p> It’s a good idea in theory. However, the pressure washing systems cost a bundle.
