Bathroom Vandalism

bathroom code access system

During the afternoon of August 5th, 2026 the men’s restroom at the north end of the lake was vandalized. The vandals damaged both toilets and the sink, and the damage is extensive. The investigation is underway and we hope to identify and prosecute the vandals. The bathroom code access system has one code for all the bathrooms, since we cannot tell if a family needs one or both gender facilities. Because of the vandalism, we have locked all the bathrooms until further notice, which we hope will be a short period. If you have any information regarding this vandalism, please send us an email to contact@palmerlakebeachclub.com. Our sense is that the sharing of the bathroom codes by the users that have received them from the HOA led to this vandalism, because no locks were damaged during the vandalism.

bathroom code access system

As we had previously announced, we are changing the bathroom code system to a new system, which includes individual codes for each user and new surveillance cameras outside of each bathroom. We will be announcing the details and registration process for this new system as soon as possible, and we will move from a standardized access code. This system will provide for access tracking, combined with security camera video access and financial responsibility for users.

Lake treatment Update

Lake Update 2026-07-20 : As previously posted, in the Summer of 2025 the lake had a major outbreak of planktonic algae, which is the last and most serious form of algae in a lake. As a result of member approval of a treatment plan in October of 2025, the lake was repeatedly tested and then treated in April of 2026 to reduce the phosphorus level, which feeds algae. This treatment appears to have been successful. There is no evidence of any material level of planktonic algae in the lake. Pierce County Health Department (TPCHD), checks the lake weekly during the spring, summer and fall months. On July 14th, TPCHD found a small patch of toxic non-planktonic algae, and issued warnings. Based on a discussion between TPCHD staff and the board President on July 17th, TPCHD noted this small patch appears to be dying, for this form of algae there is no preventive action that can be taken, and it should clear on its own in the coming weeks. PLBC will update this information as things change. Please send any inquiries to contact@palmerlakebeachclub.com. PLBC does not respond to facebook postings, because many of the facebook members are not PLBC owners/members.
