The Potters Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District (PLPRD) was formed in 1976. For nearly 50 years, the PLPRD has worked to maintain, protect, and improve the quality of Potter Lake. All riparian (lakefront) owners on Potter Lake are part of the district. As riparian owners, we each have a responsibility to care for Potter Lake.

NOTICE: Lost and Found

There are often issues with items washing up on shorelines or washing away throughout the summer! Though homeowners frequently post pictures of these things on the Homeowners' Facebook page, many people cannot access Facebook. If any items belong to you, please contact me at chairperson@potterslake.org. Also, please get in touch with me if you have any lost or found items to report so I can share them here.
