This is an annual commitment...Our HOA membership quickly said " no way "

That seems about right, maybe a wee bit more now than 2 years ago. My fish costs to me from my suppliers have increased between 35% and 60% in the last two years, depending on species and size of the fish.

I have heard that a company in Central Indiana (but they also service the Northern part of the State) is charging $1,800 per acre just for weed/algae control and that is 12 treatments per year.
