City Sprays Canals To Control Nuisance Plants

Beginning July 29, and continuing the third week of every month, the City of Boynton Beach will treat canals in an attempt to control nuisance plant growth. These plants include water hyacinth, water lettuce and a variety of other bothersome plants that are widely visible and vigorously reproduce to cover the canal systems. Spraying will take place in the following areas: Lake Shore Haven, Lake Eden, Chapel Hill, Lazy Lakes, Big Bass Waterway, Venetian Isles and Treasure Isles.

According to the City’s Utilities Department, which is overseeing the work being done by a professional contractor, it is not necessary to remove irrigation systems or boats from the canal system during the spray application.

Downtown Lake Worth will be exploding with activity during the entire Fourth of July Weekend! On July 3rd, the Downtown Cultural Alliance Merchant Association will be taking over the Lake Avenue sidewalks and side streets “K” and “L” for a full day of old fashioned family fun. The festivities will take place Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Restaurants will move their grills to the sidewalk roasting ears of corn and cooking up hotdogs, hamburgers, chicken and other holiday treats. Local food vendors will also line the streets with Italian-ice, ice cream, boiled peanuts, baked goods, watermelon and other holiday goodies.

Concerts, Musicians and Theatrical presentations will take on two stages and up and down the streets during this daylong celebration. Troubadours will wander, Steel Drums will ring, Barbershop quartets will harmonize and bands will rock out as visitors dance in the off-streets to the different beats. The Lake Worth Playhouse will even preview their upcoming show, the musical Rent

Celebrate Independence Day in Lake Worth's Bryant Park just down the street from the Sabal Palm House Bed and Breakfast from noon to 10 p.m. at Tropic Fest. In addition to the live music, there will also be plenty of food, children's activities, arts & crafts. At 9 PM there will be a spectacular fireworks show by Zambelli Fireworks directly in front of the Sabal Palm House B&B!.

Recycle! Place plastic bottles, aluminum cans, etc. in our new recycle bins located throughout the event area.
