KENNISIS LAKE COTTAGE OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION DOCK ETIQUETTE

KENNISIS LAKE COTTAGE OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION DOCK ETIQUETTE

BY WORKING TOGETHER AND BEING ACCOUNTABLE TO EACH OTHER, WE CAN ALL ENSURE PROPER DOCK ETIQUETTE

  1. Label each individual dock with your name and address – consider a phone number or email address.  Several options are available including:
    • use a waterproof “bag tag” zip tied to a dock cleat
    • write on the dock with a permanent magic marker
    • attach a name plate to the dock
  2. Retain your old docks in front of your own property – do not tow to a public area. If they are no longer needed consider offering them on Facebook Marketplace or some other social media site.
  3. Decommission your old docks on a timely basis – do not let them disintegrate on your shore and then become a Spring debris hazard.  Hire a professional or your new dock company to dispose of your old dock.
  4. Ensure any docks placed in a public area for winter storage are clearly tagged with your name and address.
  5. If you leave unattended anchors or lines in the lake ensure they are clearly marked with a buoy to avoid being caught in a propeller.
  6. If you find a dock, post pictures on social media and also send to KLCOA to post in an e-blast.
