Garver continues to evaluate hydraulic models to help identify the most effective and cost-conscious path forward under MDEQ’s updated guidance.
At this time, we do not have any additional updates regarding the project or an anticipated timeline. We remain engaged with Garver, MDEQ, and the other necessary parties as we work through the requirements and evaluate the options available to us. Our focus remains on developing a path forward that addresses MDEQ’s requirements and supports the long-term future of Camden Lake.

The Lake Caroline Board of Directors has approved moving forward with Phase 2 of the Association’s dredging program, with work planned to begin in November in the Belle Pointe and Camden Court area.
Phase 2 will include dredging a 40-foot-wide channel and removing approximately 8,100 cubic yards of accumulated sediment to improve navigation and help maintain the lake and fish habitat.
A five-year permit has been obtained from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the dredging work. Sediment removed from the Phase 2 area will be pumped to a designated deeper area of the lake and contained within a silt curtain.
All-Water is performing daily water clarity checks. Garver Engineering is planned to provide project oversight, including surveys to verify the amount of material dredged.
What Residents Can Expect
Residents near the active dredging area should expect temporary limitations on boat access and periods of muddy or cloudy water while work is underway. Completion of Phase 2 is currently anticipated by February, depending on weather conditions and project progress.
Private Boat Slip Dredging
Eligible property owners in the project area will also have an opportunity to arrange for private boat slip dredging at their own expense while the dredging contractor is working nearby. These residents will be contacted by the HOA with information on eligibility, timing, and how to coordinate directly with the contractor if they choose to participate.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as this Board-approved phase of the dredging program moves forward.

On August 10, 2026, following a hearing in Madison County Chancery Court, Judge Walker granted the opposing parties’ Motion to Dismiss. LCOA had 30 days from the filing of the order to appeal the decision to the Mississippi Supreme Court.
What Has Happened Since
Following the ruling, members of the Board of Directors met with Herring, Long, and Crews, P.C. to discuss the outcome and the Association's options moving forward. After further consideration, the Board determined that additional legal counsel should be consulted regarding those options.
Following those discussions, the Board made the decision to terminate Herring, Long, and Crews, P.C. and retain Balch & Bingham, LLP to represent LCOA in matters concerning CMU and the quality of utility services provided to Lake Caroline and its residents.
Because this matter involves potential and ongoing legal issues, there are legal strategies, positions, plans, and goals that we cannot share publicly at this time—and some information may never be appropriate to disclose. We will continue to provide residents with as much information as we can, when it is appropriate to do so.
We continue to follow the guidance of our attorneys as we evaluate and pursue the options available to the Association, with the goal of addressing the concerns regarding utility services affecting Lake Caroline and its residents.
Next Steps
We are continuing to gather documentation and evidence regarding concerns with the quality of utility services.
If you experience or have concerns regarding the quality of CMU’s utility services, please report those concerns to:
Thank you for your patience, continued vigilance, and support throughout this process. We are in this together.
