Regency Lake
A dredging project is set to enhance Regency Lake’s water quality and safeguard its ecosystem. Dredging the lake is necessary to remove accumulated sediment, which reduces the lake’s water level and increases water temperature and the growth of harmful algae blooms. Higher water levels make it easier to maintain a healthy habitat for fish. The lake’s fish have been temporarily relocated to a new home in another beautiful Overland Park lake. Dredging work will begin at the lake in September. We’ll take the utmost care of Regency Lake’s vibrant ecosystem throughout the process.
