Residents have always been a big part of government in the Town of Lake Clarke Shores. Boards and committees are created by ordinance or resolution. Quasi-judicial boards decide cases whereas advisory boards provide advice and recommendations to Town staff and Town Council.

The Town of Lake Clarke Shores operates under a Council-Manager form of government.  The Council-Manager system combines the strong leadership of five elected officials, a  Mayor, Vice Mayor, President Pro Tem, and two Council Members who establish legislative policies; which are carried out with the strong managerial and administrative experience of an appointed Town Manager.

We hope you will come recreate with us and enjoy the many program offerings designed to serve you.

We wish this could be better news.

The Palm Beach County Division of Environmental Resources Management has treated the Lake for the 4th time, Friday, April 20th. Treatment was minimal, however, the risk to proceed in using the lake water for irrigation is unknown. The Town encourages you to refrain from using the Lake water for irrigation, you may do so AT YOUR OWN RISK. Should you choose to irrigate from the main Lake, recently planted shrubs or sod will be at a greater risk of being damaged than established vegetation.

PBC DERM treated the Lake again today (treatment 3) for Hydrilla. They used SONAR again and they say it will be at least three week before we can irrigate using water from the main lake. Again, the canals are not affected. You can use your hose to irrigate as needed.

Official Update - Thursday 3/22/18 Palm Beach County says we still cannot irrigate our yards from the Lake!!! And, they are going to re-treat for hydrilla Monday (3/26/18) so it will be another 3 or 4 weeks before we can use the Lake water to irrigate. If you're on the Lake, you can irrigate from your hose bib with City water. If you're on a one of the canals, you're not affected by the Lake treatment.

To maintain high water quality the Village of Palm Springs will temporarily change the water chlorination methods starting Monday, March 19, 2018 a “free chlorine residual” water treatment method will be used to provide a stronger, faster acting disinfection process than the “combined chlorine or Chloramines” treatment which is normally used. This is a preventive maintenance process.

Sunday, March 4, 2018 – TOWN OF LAKE CLARKE SHORES - PUBLIC NOTICE FOR RESIDENTS ALONG THE MAIN LAKE

As a reminder, residents along the Main Lake (not including the canals) that draw water directly from Lake Clarke for irrigation should complete any watering use today, March 4th. Palm Beach County’s Department of Environmental Resources Management will be conducting an aquatic plant control for the exotic plant - Hydrilla. The process will be using herbicide Sonar that could cause injury to your vegetation.

There are no additional restrictions for swimming or fishing.

At this time the Town of Lake Clarke Shores' Water Utility Customers may now consume and use their water as NORMAL. The Boil water notice has been lifted. Please see below tips for AFTER a BOIL WATER NOTICE is LIFTED.
