WELCOME TO LOCUSTVILLE POND!

The LPIA is a volunteer membership organization.  The purpose of membership is to financially sustain the primary activity of the organization, which is to effectively treat the pond so that it is not overrun by weeds, as happens to so many local ponds. Member families commit to pay annual dues (currently $250) to ensure that our pond remains beautiful and enjoyable for recreation and relaxation. Please contact us if you live on, or near, the pond, just moved to the pond or are planning to move to the pond. Or just love to use the pond for quiet fishing. We would love to get to know you and to have you join us in membership.
