Newszap.com, an independent news collective, reports that the Arrowhead Lakes Homeowners Association, Arizona, reminds its residents that proper dock and retaining wall maintenance translates to a healthy lake liner–and it prevents potentially huge repair costs if the lake’s lining is damaged due to general homeowner negligence. Like many new developments, man-made lakes are central to the community’s higher property value and higher quality of life. Neglected lakeshore walls and docks could lead to a cracking of the concrete cover over the liner in the critical zone where it contacts the shore. This is the sort of awareness that the Geosynthetics Risk Management and Loss Control Program is promoting throughout the insurance and construction industries.
