Update on lake certificates in the Twin Lakes community
Posted on Monday, June 6th, 2022
Hide
The Board is pleased to announce that all three of our dams are now covered by operation and maintenance certificates issued by the Virginia DCR Dam Safety division! Dams 1 and 3 received full O&M certificates which last six years. Dam 2 received a two-year conditional O&M certificate, which covers it as we repair the one slumped spot on the embankment and coordinate a table-top exercise in accordance with our emergency action plan. Please note that dam 2 (for Lake Shenandoah) is still closed to foot traffic until it is fully repaired. We are also aware that the boat ramp for Lake Shenandoah is washed out and in poor condition. The Board is in the process of seeking bids to repair and possibly upgrade this area in the near future. Happy Summer to all and we hope you get outdoors and enjoy it!

West Daffodil Road Repairs Complete
Posted on Saturday, July 10th, 2021
Hide
Updated 7-16-21
We have completed the work to improve the condition and safety of a narrow, curvy part of West Daffodil (click here for map link).
The work started with placing in 12 tons of large and then small rock in the deep ditch in the area so that it was safe to roll onto in an emergency. To prevent future issues, we had to line the ditch all of the way from Narcissus Rd to the creek.
Once that was done we had a paving company come in and patch a bit of the road on the edge to give us a bit of our lost road width back. Overall this made the entire area look better and be far safer for our community.

Geranium Rd Culvert Replacement Complete
Posted on Wednesday, May 5th, 2021
Hide
After years of waiting, months of saving, and lots of planning, the repair of the largest culvert system in Twin Lakes is finally complete. In all this took the work of two great companies and over $110,000 of expense to replace two badly failing metal culvert pipes (see pic below) with two extremely durable concrete pipes as well as a very protective head wall. We recently capped off the work by paving the area to return it to a stable and beautiful part of our road and water system!

The riser tower trash racks have been replaced with more robust versions, on both Dam 1 (Greene) and Dam 3 (Skyline). The water levels will be back to normal soon, if they are not already…
All of our lakes remain open for residents to use, although Dam #2 and the surrounding common area remains off-limits as we address some slope repair tasks on the Lake Shenandoah dam. The Lake Shenandoah boat ramp (off of West Daffodil Rd.) remains open and available.
Note: there is a large dock at the rear of the parking area/boat ramp at Lake Skyline (off of Morning Glory Turn), that we are working with the owner to remove.
TLOA COVID-19 Response
Posted on Monday, April 20th, 2020

Twin Lakes Residents,
Until further notice, TLOA Board of Directors meetings will take place via video-conferencing, and not at the TLOA office in Stanardsville. In order to allow for member input on what the Board will be discussing and voting on at upcoming meetings, we will post our meeting agendas in advance for review. Please send pertinent comments to twinlakes@twinlakeshoa.org. All comments received prior to the meeting will be reviewed and taken into consideration by the Board.
In response to the escalating health crisis that is the novel coronavirus, we urge all residents to heed the warnings and recommendations of healthcare professionals, and limit all travel and social contact as much as is possible. This virus is especially dangerous to the elderly and anyone with pre-existing health issues. Remember: you are not only a potential victim, but a potential carrier.
It is vital to preventing the complete overwhelming of our healthcare system, that we all do our part to slow the spread of this highly contagious disease [COVID-19], and in keeping with that mission the Board has cancelled all in-person meetings until further notice. Board meetings will take place via tele-conferencing, and various avenues of communication will be made available (in addition to the email boxes and phone number that are already in place) to ensure that the community has a chance to express opinions on issues that the Board is discussing.

Stay healthy, and whenever possible- stay home.
