President’s Prerogative
by Ken Dillenburg, Board President
Let’s lead off this month with a big thank you to all the
property owners who took the time to send in their proxies, and of course all who actually attended the annual
meeting. The meeting was held in the Lakeview Room
instead of the gym to stop some of the scarring of the
gym floor from regular shoes and chairs. The Lakeview
Room was filled pretty much to capacity, and that was
nice to see. There had been some concern without a
contested election getting enough proxies turned in but as
I said, no problem thanks to all of you.
Every year, we work to maintain our lake quality
and this year is no exception. Recently a group from
Lake Management along with our lake biologist and an
engineer walked the creek running into the dip to garner
ideas of how to stop some of the runoff from coming into
the inlet while still filled with sediment and nutrients.
That is to be the focus area of remediation this year. After
the walk, the consensus seems to be that we need to for-
mulate a complete plan of attack for the entire area from
the fields by Caledonia Road all the way to our lake. Our
best shot at another grant seems to be having an overall
plan with the necessary engineering studies to find what
is feasible. If all falls into place, we will be filing for the
implementation grant by August 1. Let’s hope the monies
are available so we can move on at least a portion of this
next year. If you get a chance, drive over the dip after a
heavy rain and look at the chocolate milk looking water
running in from the farm fields that feed the stream. For
newcomers, the dip is the spot on Candlewick Drive close
to Constitution where the water runs in. Take a look.
Last year, we purchased a skimmer/harvester to help
remedy the inevitable yearly weed and algae problem. As
I type this, the skimmer is ready to hit the water as soon
as needed. Last year was a learning experience, and we
had a lot of down time. We have an extra pick-up belt
on hand to eliminate some of that if the belt becomes a
problem. The belt seems to be the most sensitive part of
the machine. Please remember we can not run this right
up to the bank or we will risk damage if it hits frontage
rocks or other obstructions. It will pick up the bulk of the
algae mat and that alone will make a big difference. The
algae will also not be sprayed to fall back to the bottom
as fertilizer as has been the practice before the skimmer.
There will be some spraying as needed, but it should
be much less than prior years. Be patient. The skimmer
cannot be everywhere at once, but we are trying to have a
big positive impact on your lake.
Let’s touch on one safety issue. One of our rules
indicates each home must have four-inch house numbers
affixed to the home in a conspicuous location. At first
blush, this may seem like an unnecessary rule, that is
until you have a medical emergency or a fire, and our
local Capron Rescue Squad Unit or North Boone Fire
Department cannot locate your home. Another point

15th, June 15th, July 15th and September 1st. If you are the
owner of a vacant lot, please make arrangements to have
your lot mowed prior to these dates, whether you do it

contractor to mow the lot and you will be charged that fee
as well.
All lots that have a house on them must be mowed on a
regular basis so as to keep the property looking neat.

plantings. The planting phase started May 9, 2015
and was completed on July 18, 2015. Tallgrass was
contracted for the stewardship on these areas. They
have completed all seven visits for 2015. On 9/16/15,
the sub-committee members toured the bio swales.
The second reimbursement request has been received
from the EPA. A sub-committee meeting was held
on November 17, 2015 to focus on moving forward
and obtaining our next grant. Tallgrass burned the

Photo ID Membership Card (Member Card) are required
for use of the amenities (pool, golf course, fitness center,
gymnasium, and boating and fishing facilities). The rules
further state that any Member that is not in good standing
shall have their Membership Card privileges suspended
until said Member rectifies his/her membership standing.
This includes the privileges for all registered Members.
The rules do not say that a Member can’t pay the daily fee
for use of the amenities. The Board of Directors passed
a resolution at the April 21, 2015 Board meeting that any
Owner, Associate Members, Tenant, and any other family
members who reside in a House will not be allowed to
pay the daily fee to use the amenities if their amenity
privileges have been suspended. Additionally any Owner,
Associate Members, Tenant, and any other family members who reside in a House and are not in good standing
they will not be permitted to rent any of the Candlewick
Lake facilities.
CANDLEWICK
LAKE RENTAL
REGISTRATION
NOTICE
As you may be aware, Candlewick Lake Association
recently voted to put a fifteen percent (15%) rental
cap in place. Under this new rule, all rental units are
defined as non-owner occupied homes. If you own a
home in Candlewick, but do not personally live in the
home, it will be considered in the count towards the
fifteen percent cap. Registration forms were sent to all
those that the Administration Office had identified. If,
however you did not receive notice, or are not sure if
your home qualifies, please contact the Administration
Office immediately.
Failure to do so may result in further monetary penalties as outlined under the approved change.
The fifteen percent (15%) rental cap has been reached.
If you wish to rent your home and it was not previously
identified and registered as a rental property, you will
be put on a waiting list until we fall below the rental
cap. Please contact the Administration Office with any
questions regarding rental properties.

Volunteers Wanted
Volunteers wanted to help the Friends of Candlewick
with the can collection. The can collection sites are
located at the Rec. Center Peninsula, Castaway Park,
and Highland Valley Green. The cans are picked up
weekly from these three sites; once the trailer is full, the
cans are taken in to Belvidere. The money collected is
used for lake related projects. Examples of past projects
include additional fish purchases, boat lift for the public
safety boat, laser lights for geese control. If you are
interested in helping, please contact Theresa Balk at the
Administration Office – 815-339-0500 x 204.
Commission Members
Needed!
The ROADS COMMISSION is looking for members.
If you are interested in becoming a member, please call
Theresa at the Administration office at 815-339-0500 x 204.
Spring Cleanup
Now that spring is here, please take a few minutes to
pick up the debris that has accumulated in your yard and
ditch over the winter. By maintaining your property, not
only does it enhance the beauty of the neighborhood, but
adds to property values. Taking a few minutes to clean
up your yard and ditch goes a long way in beautifying the
neighborhood.
Please remember that you are not allowed to pile tree
branches and yard waste on the common ground adjacent
to your property. If you have yard waste to dispose of, it
must be placed in kraft bags or in cans with yard waste
stickers attached which Advanced Disposal will pick
up. The maximum allowable can size is 32 gallons and
weighing no more than 50 pounds. Citations will be
issued to those property owners illegally dumping.

President’s Prerogative continued from page 3
to ponder, although it is not part of the rule, is that it is
smart to have the letters in a color that contrasts to the
background. A gray home with brown numbers probably
will do little good at night.
During our December 2015 meeting, it was decided
we would switch to a VOIP (voice over internet protocol)
phone system producing substantial long-term savings.
With the change, there will be probably four Candlewick
facilities phone numbers that will have to change. Be sure
to check for the notice elsewhere in this paper for more
details. You will find the call-in system much better.
As we head into summer, I will leave you with this
quote by James Dent… “A perfect summer day is when
the sun is shining, a breeze is blowing, the birds are
singing, and the lawn mower is broken.”
GARAGE SALE TIPS
Submitted by Bonnie Marron
With the spring Candlewick Lake Community Garage
Sale right around the corner I thought I would compile a
list of suggested ideas which may assist in the success of
your sale.
• Get together with family and friends. A garage sale if
often more successful if a group goes in together as it
provides more items for the sale. Plus group sales often
attract more traffic. Plus it’s fun to do things in a group!
• Look through your closets, attics, garages or wherever
and gather items for the sale.
• Make sure you begin the day which plenty of bills in
small denominations and some change. Many people
stop by an ATM on their way to garage sales and all
they have on hand are twenty dollar bills.
• Keep your cash in a safe place.
• Make sure all items are clean and presentable.
• Create a traffic flow through your sale.
• Display items with like items. For example – books,
records, toys, sporting goods, tools, etc.
• Be friendly to your clients. Engage them in conversation.
• Put away or cover items not intended for sale.
• Have signs or flags in your yard to attract attention.
• Keep your pets out of the way. Not everyone feels the
same way about your pets as do you and some might be
allergic.
• Have some easy listening music playing softly in
the background. Heck, the best stores do it, so why
shouldn’t you.
• Put some larger, interesting items near the curb so
clients have an idea of what you have for sale.
• It’s a good idea to operate on a “CASH ONLY” basis to
avoid getting a bad check.
• Keep an eye on your tables and rearrange items as they
sell to avoid large voids.
• Have electricity available to plug in items that run on
electricity. Make sure to keep extension cords out of
the flow of traffic.
• Have batteries available for items that need them, but
remember to remove the batteries after the items is
sold as they are often worth more than the item you are
selling.
• Have bags, newspapers, etc. available for packaging
sold items.
• If you have owner’s manuals for the items you are
selling include them.
• Fill out and return the form in this edition of the CWL
newspaper so as to be included on the map which will
be provided to clients.
This year’s spring Garage Sale will take place on
Friday, May 20th and Saturday, May 21st. Hope your sale is
a successful one!

Walking the Creek
Photos and article by Dale Miedema
Plans were made at our last Lake Commission meeting to walk up the creek feeding
water to the west finger of our lake, in an attempt to find the source of the algae getting
into the lake. It seems the algae has been getting a headstart on our efforts to control it
through spraying, given the warm weather we had in late February and early March. The
original plans were for the group to meet at the dip on Tuesday, March 15, but due to
severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings posted, Lake Committee president, Chuck Hart,
suggested we postpone it for a day. Good idea!
The next day found much more favorable conditions as our group gathered on the west
side of Candlewick Drive, just north of Constitution to begin our look at the creek. Three
members of the Lake Committee, Chuck
Hart, Lee Odden and Todd Jones, were
accompanied by our lake biologist Joe
Rush, Rebecca Olson of Olson Ecological
Solutions and Dick Baumann of Wendler
Engineering and Survey.
It was an excellent time to investigate the happenings in the creek, since the
1.5-inch rainfall from the previous day’s
storms had the stream flowing briskly As
we got a few hundred feet up the creek,
we came upon several ponds of stagnant
The creek had a pretty good current that day.
water, with thick mats of algae on the
surfaces. While it seemed that this might
be what we were looking for, Joe commented that these ponds were quite isolated from
the main stream, and were probably a result of the heavy rain. We came upon areas where
water from the farm field spilled into the creek, and noticed areas of heavy erosion along
the banks of the stream. Joe said an inexpensive fix might be to put in spill wells - a plastic
or fiberglass waterfall of sorts, that would allow the water to enter the stream without
washing away the soil bank in the process.
As we got to the point where the creek crosses under Tamarack Drive, Chuck pointed
out that the area is always very wet, and it certainly was today. Chuck suggested that it
could be from springs feeding the water to the surface, but Dick said in his experience with
geological surveys, that it probably was an unusually high water table in the area.
It was an interesting trip up the creek. We saw areas of the creek that had heavy foaming, which Joe said was created by phosphorous, a common ingredient in fertilizer, and
other areas where erosion was streaming sediment downstream into our lake. So what do
we do from here?
Rebecca, Joe and Dick will put together plans on what we can do to clean up the stream.
There are probably several ways to go about it, with none of the plans being inexpensive,
but we are still working with the state of Illinois on grant money to improve our watershed,
so at least we won’t have to go it alone financially..
Many thanks to Chuck Hart and the Lake Committee for all their efforts to improve our
lake. And thanks to all the volunteers who helped out with swale plantings last summer.
Those plants will act as the last line of defense to filter water entering the lake. I think the
lake is looking better already. How ‘bout you?

Safe Boating Tips and
Reminders
Practical suggestions for outdoor enthusiasts who take to
the water in boats.
• Always be weather wise – sudden wind shifts or
lightning flashes are signs the weather is changing
---this would be a good time to get off the water.
• Always check your boat, equipment, boat battery and
fuel supply before going out.
• Don’t overload your watercraft – know your boat’s
legal capacity.
• Make sure you have enough of the right size LIFE
JACKETS on board for all going out with you.
Make sure the life jackets are all in good condition no rips or missing buckles.
• Check that the label is readable for size and weight.
Most of all, the label must show that it is U.S. Coast
Guard approved.
• Your life jackets should always be readily available.
• Children under the age of 13 need to wear their
lifejacket while onboard.
• Make sure you have a throwable device (cushion/
ring).
• If you plan on being out on the water after dark
– make sure that all of your navigation lights are
working properly.
• Please be alert and courteous to others on the water.
• Please Keep Our Waters Clean.
Boating courses are available on line – if you are new
to boating this a great way to learn how to be a SAFE
Boater. Wishing you a SAFE and Fun Filled Boating
Season.

Attention Boat
Owners!
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) DID NOT
send out watercraft renewal notices this year. It is your
responsibility to make sure that your watercraft registration is current. Watercraft registration always expires on
June 30th. Does yours expire this year? Information and
renewal information can be found at www.dnr.illinois.gov.
STATE OF ILLINOIS NON-MOTORIZED BOAT
REGISTRATION CHANGED:
The state of Illinois has changed the process for registration of non-motorized boats. Boats without motors are
no longer required to be titled in Illinois (unless it has
a motor). These boats will now require a Water Usage
Stamp, which should be available at point of sale vendors.
For more information on Water Usage Stamps,visit the
DNR website listed above.
Protect Our Waters
This is directed to ALL that boat on Candlewick Lake:
STOP AQUATIC HITCHHIKERS!
Prevent the transport of nuisance species.
Clean all recreational equipment.
www.ProtectYourWaters.net
When you leave a body of water:
• Remove any visible mud, plants, fish or animals
before transporting equipment.
• Drain water from equip (boat, motor, trailer, live
wells) before transporting.
• Clean and dry anything that comes into contact
with water.
• Never release plants, fish or animals into a body
of water unless they came out of that body of
water.
DID
YOU KNOW…
That the money from the
cans collected at the three
can bins (Castaway, Highland
Valley Green, and the
Recreation Center Peninsula)
is used for funding projects
to benefit both the lake and
the community. The funds
have been used to help pay
for fish stocking, building
fish structures, purchase of a
GPS that is used for lake related issues, lake plantings,
waders, laser lights (to chase the geese), and the Kids
Fishing Tournament. If you have aluminum cans that
you are either throwing away or putting in the recycling
bin, please consider bagging them and taking them to
one of the can bins located in Candlewick. The Friends
of Candlewick have recently voted to use funds from
the cans for projects that could either benefit the lake
and/or the community. This is expanding the scope
beyond specific lake use, and may be used to benefit
the entire community where needed.

Styling for Pink Foundation
by Kathi Smith
Every family is touched by cancer each year. For this
reason, in 2008, a group of ladies put together a luncheon
and style show at the Candlewick Rec Center raising $5000
that was donated to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
Nine years later, the Styling for Pink Foundation has grown
from 100 attending the luncheon to over 500 in attendance
last year. We are now a non-profit 501c3, and instead of donating the funds we raise to Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer, we now take the funds to help cancer patients lo-
cally. We are so proud to be helping Boone and Winnebago
residents who are receiving treatment for cancer. We offer
assistance to those battling cancer by providing bus tickets,
visa cards, gas cards and help with medication expenses.
How it all works:
Ericka at the American Cancer Society receives a referral. Ericka then interviews the cancer patient to determine
what their needs are and how we can help them. You must
be a resident of Boone or Winnebago County, currently in

A
Message from the Chief ofassume
Public
Safety
the other person doesn’t see you, look ahead
by Chief Roland Wood
[email protected]
Greetings from Public Safety
The calendar says spring has arrived, but has anyone
told Mother Nature? It has been one of our coldest
spring seasons in recent memory. We’ve had several
snow flurries in the month of April. I guess we shouldn’t
complain after the relatively mild winter. But as it warms,
summer is right around the corner. Grass should be
growing heartily now. The kids will be out of school soon.
Please remember, the warmer weather brings its own set
of issues. Being prepared always make everything go
smoother.
I would like to remind our residents to be good
neighbors. Be polite to one another. Help your neighbor
if you can. Make it a point to get to know your neighbor.
Please remember who actually has the most influence
in protecting you and your home, “your neighbor.” Our
officers cannot be everywhere all the time. Keep a sharp
eye in watching for suspicious people and events around
your home and your neighbor’s home. If you observe
something or someone suspicious, please call our Public
Safety Department. It will never hurt to be safe rather than
sorry.
Prevent Bicycle Crashes
Many state laws define a bicycle on the road as a
vehicle (including Illinois), and the bicyclist as the driver
of a vehicle. For many, your bike is your first vehicle.
Learning to ride a bike is common as a kid, but as a preteen/teen you are more likely to be riding independently
and be exposed to traffic. All states require bicyclists on
the roadway to follow the same rules and responsibilities
as motorists. Driving as a part of traffic can be complex.
Biking builds on the same critical skills as walking around
traffic, and biking shares many of the same skills as
driving a car.
The following will prepare you for some of the risks
of riding in traffic and how to reduce them. Here’s what
you can do to prevent common crashes; the most common
crashes (being falls), and the most serious crashes (the
ones with cars):
• Be Prepared Before Heading Out: operate a bike that
fits you, ride a bike that works, i.e., brakes etc., wear
equipment to protect you and make you more visible
to others, plan your route choosing routes with less
traffic and slower speeds.
• Improve Your Riding Skills: practice and experience
make a difference, take an on-bike class. Confidence
biking in traffic comes with learning how to navigate
and communicate with other drivers, bicyclists and
pedestrians.
• Ride Smart: be serious by not messing around in
traffic, ride one per seat with both hands on the
handlebars, tuck and tie shoe laces and pant legs so
they won’t get caught in the bike chain, stay focused
using your eyes and ears.
• Know the rules: be aware of others on the road, look
before entering traffic, learn and follow the “rules of
the road” for your own safety and the safety of others.
• Drive Defensively: be focused and alert on the road,
anticipate what others may do before they do it,
for hazards and avoid bad situations. No texting or
listening to music which may distract you.
• Drive Predictably: drive where you are expected to be
seen, in the same direction as traffic and signal when
turning. Avoid sidewalk driving, it’s not predictable,
but if you must, make sure it is legal, watch for
pedestrians and pass with care, ride with traffic and
look for cars backing out of driveways.
• Know the Causes of Bike–Car Crashes: most crashes
can be prevented and knowing the causes can help
you adjust your riding and driving behaviors to avoid
a bicycle crash.1
Wear it! Shares Safety Tips for Spring
Boating
Many people enjoy recreational boating and fishing in
the spring. Yet, what looks like a perfect day can quickly
become hazardous if you end up in frigid water. The
annual “Wear It!” boating safety campaign reminds spring
boaters to take extra precautions. Situations on the water
can escalate quickly, and wearing a life jacket not only
gives you peace of mind to control an emergency situation, but can also save your life.
Life jackets are available in inherently buoyant or
inflatable styles. Inflatable life jackets rely on CO2
cylinders that provide buoyancy when inflated versus
inherently buoyant life jackets that use foam or other
buoyant materials to stay afloat.
Inflatable life jackets give boaters no more excuses
– they’ll have mobility and flexibility for water activity
while wearing the right gear. Regardless of the life jacket
chosen, Wear It!
Wear It! Offers spring boaters tips before they hit the
water:
• Prepare your boat by scheduling a vessel safety check
with your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or (CWL
Lake Patrol).
• Know the latest marine weather forecast and dress for
the water temperature, not the air temperature.
• File a float plan with someone you trust that includes
details about the trip and emergency contacts.
And once on the water:
• Make sure everyone – even experienced swimmers –
wears a properly fitting U.S. Coast Guard – approved
life jacket appropriate for the water activity.
• Follow navigation rules, such as maintaining a proper
lookout and safe speed.
• Never boat under the influence. Alcohol is responsible
for 21 percent of boating fatalities.
• Keep in touch. Cell phones, satellite phones, emergency position radio beacons, VHF radios and personal
locator beacons can all contribute in an emergency.
• Don’t panic if you fall into the water. Stay afloat with
the help of your life jacket, regain control of your
breathing, keep your head above water in vision of
rescuers, and stay with the boat if possible.2
Let’s keep Candlewick Lake a beautiful, safe place to
live.

Signs
Please be reminded that the only type of signs that are
allowed in Candlewick Lake are real estate and political
signs. Real estate signs must be placed against the house
or garage and may not be out in the yard. Political signs
are only allowed to be displayed 30 prior and 10 after an
election. Political signs may not be placed in the ditch, on
common ground or any CWL owned property.
Contractors are not permitted to place signs on your
property. These include but are not limited to siders,
roofers, landscapers, remodeling and driveway companies
or any other type of construction. In addition no event or
any other type of signs are allowed.
When you are having work done on your house or yard,
please advise your contractor that they may not display
their signs. Citations will be issued to the member if signs
are displayed.
Mowing
Requirements
It is the responsibility of each property owner to mow
and maintain the ditch area in front of their property.
Please be sure to mow the entire ditch, up to the road
shouldering. This applies to the ditch in front of a vacant
lot or a developed lot (lot with a house on it). If you hire a
contractor to mow your lawn or vacant lot, be sure they are
aware of the rule.
If there is concrete curbing in front of or on the corner
of your vacant or developed lot, the grass must be trimmed
around the curbing. Also, trimming is required around any
sign post and/or mail box posts that are in the ditch area or
in the easement adjacent to your property.
When a vacant lot is mowed, it is expected to be mowed
entirely. Rows (strips) of uncut grass is not acceptable.
New Address or Phone
Number: Contact
Office with Change
If you have recently moved, please take a few minutes
to contact the Administration Office to give us your new
address. Many mailings done by the Association are sent
out bulk mail. Unfortunately, the post office will not
forward bulk mail, but will instead return it at a considerable fee. We are charged about $4.00 to receive the CWL
News back.
If you have disconnected your house phone (land line)
and are only using cell phones chances are the Office does
not have your current number. The Association has no
way of contacting you in an emergency situation. The
same is true if you change your phone number.
Please take a few moments to contact the
Administration Office at 815-765-2827 ext. 200 to be sure
we have your address and phone number(s) on file.
Use
of Common Ground
Use of the common ground for personal property is
prohibited unless the General Manager grants permission.
This includes gardens, woodpiles, etc. Trampolines, swing
sets, pools, boats, etc. are strictly prohibited and permission for these type of items will not be granted. If you
would like to use the common ground, you may pick up an
application form in the office, to be filled out and submitted for approval by the General Manager.
Vacant
Lots for Sale
If you have your unimproved (vacant) lot for sale, you
may keep the selling information on file in the Candlewick
Lake office. This information will be available to anyone
interested in purchasing a lot in Candlewick Lake.
Forms are available in the Administration Office, which
must be filled out and placed in the book by the property
owner. It is the responsibility of the lot owner to remove
the form when the lot has been sold or is no longer for
sale.
Candlewick Lake Association does not act as a selling
agent for property owners. By signing the form, you are
authorizing Candlewick Lake Association to provide the
information to the general public.
Some of the listings go back to 2009. If you have put
a form in the book, you may want to consider stopping in
the office to review your form to be sure it has updated
information with regards to your address, phone number,
asking price etc.

for details. An account is considered delinquent if payment of dues in full or an ACH is not
processed by May 1st.
ACH – EXISTING SETUP
What do I need to do? If you have a current ACH in place, you consent to the current year’s monthly amount, and there are no changes required then you need to do
nothing! Again, if you had an ACH processed in March, we will process the next payment
in May unless otherwise directed by you. Your Electronic Fund Transfer Authorization
Agreement is for the withdrawal of funds in payment of the current Candlewick Lake
Association Dues Assessments, Road Trust/Long Term Capital Funding, and accumulated
interest. We will begin taking out the upcoming year’s (2016-2017 Fiscal Year) assessments
in May. If you do not consent to continue your ACH and/or would like to pay in full, you
must notify us in writing on or before April 15, 2016. Unless we receive such a request,
your current ACH Agreement will continue with your consent to the new current year’s
monthly assessment. Attach a voided check to a completed Electronic Fund Transfer
Agreement if you want to utilize a new bank account. Forms must be received in the
Candlewick Lake Office on or before April 15, 2016. Your account is automatically debited
on the first business day of each month beginning May 1, 2016.
ACH –NEW SETUP
What do I need to do? If you need to start an ACH for the first time, then complete the
ACH form, attach a voided check and return it to the Candlewick Lake Association Office.
Forms must be received in the Candlewick Lake Office on or before April 15, 2016. Your
account is automatically debited on the first business day of each month beginning May 1,
2016. Return ACH forms to the following address:
Candlewick Lake Association Office
13400 Highway 76
Online Payment Via eCheck or Credit Card
You can set up a one-time payment using an eCheck or credit card. There is a $14.95
convenience fee if you pay via a credit card. There is no charge for eChecks, however you
will have to register as a smartstreet user.
What do I need to do? Simply follow the directions below:
• Log in to smartstreet.com or candlewicklake.org (documents/smartpay)
• Select “Online Payments”
• Choose “Pay as a Guest” for credit card payments or “Sign In or Register” for one time
eCheck payments
• Select your homeowner’s association and follow the instructions on the screen
Pay in Full at the Association Office in Person or by US Mail
Return your invoice and a check made payable to Candlewick Lake Association to the
following address:
Candlewick Lake Association
13400 Highway 76
When paying by check, please write your unit and lot number on the check. You can also
drop your payment in our drop box located in front of the Administration Office during or
after hours. Your cashed check will serve as your receipt. Please do NOT drop cash.
CREDIT CARDS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AT THE ADMINISTRATION OFFICE.
Important
Notice
In order to more efficiently handle your checks, we have elected to use a check scanner to
process your checks in the office. This will turn your paper check into an electronic check
transaction. You will not receive your paper check back in your statement. The payment
will be reflected as an electronic transaction on your banking statement and can clear as
soon as the same day we receive your payment.

Garbage Proper Disposal Information
Normal household trash must be put out in sealed
containers. Bags set next to the toter are prohibited and
citations will be issued to those violating the rules. If
you need an additional toter, please contact Advanced
Disposal at 815-874-8431. If you only occasionally have
an additional bag of garbage that doesn’t fit in your toter,
you may put it in a regular garbage can.
You are required to have your garbage at the curb
by 6:00 AM on the day of collection. To avoid being
missed, please be sure to have your garbage out by 6:00
AM.
An electronic recycling drop-off site is located at the
Boone County Highway Department.
Hazardous waste materials (paints, paint thinner, oil,
etc.) can be taken to the Rock River Water Reclamation
District located at 3333 Kishwaukee Street in Rockford.
Their hours are Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and
Sundays from noon to 4:00 PM. You can call 815-387-
7510 to get a complete list of what is accepted and what
is not. Things they don’t accept are compressed gas,
explosives and radioactive material.
Tires (except tractor tires) may be taken, up to four at a
time, to Rock River Water Reclamation District.
Sharps (used syringes, needles and other medical
equipment) should not be disposed of in your household
trash or recycling as this poses a significant health risk
to waste haulers. Anyone working in the trash handling
industry can unexpectedly come in contact with these
materials and is in danger of accidentally puncturing
themselves and be at risk of contracting any number of
diseases – including Hepatitis B and HIV – from contaminated syringes. Most pharmacies offer a free sharps
collection program. You can pick up a sharps container at
no charge; once your container is full, you can exchange
it for a new container. This free service is a simple
solution for the safe disposal of SHARPS.
