Some people who live on High Rock Lake said they had enough and took matters into their own hands when it came to treating an invasive plant called hydrilla.
Hydrilla has taken over coves in High Rock Lake, but neighbors in one cove opened their wallets to see a change. Clyde Dominey says 16 households pitched in, paying a company nearly $5,000 to see their cove clear again, coming out to about $300 per household. Dominey says the treatment used something called copper chelate, which kills the upper layer that eventually sinks to the bottom of the lake, though it does not necessarily treat the tubers and roots, so the hydrilla could come back in the spring.
Dominey says if that is what it takes, they could do it again, but he expects people will begin to push back when it gets more expensive than $300 or $400 per household.
