Association commons, including Capitol Beach Lake, cannot be used for private gain.

In ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the quality of the lake water, DO NOT feed the geese or fish. Laboratory analysis and the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission experts have advised us that geese fecal waste and dog food in the lake will degrade the water quality.

Any major repairs, changes or new construction of seawalls, docks or other structures in the lake must be submitted to the CBCA Board to request an easement.

A license agreement must be completed and submitted to the Board requesting approval for any new construction, repair or changes of seawalls, docks, boat lifts, or any other structure in the lake, or for any garden/flower plots on the commons, before any work is started. The license agreement must be approved before any work is started. All approval forms will be kept on file with CBCA.

Boat docks and sea walls that are deteriorated and considered to be unsafe, or a hazard to boating on the lake, are subject to removal or repair 30 days after notice from the CBCA Board. Any costs incurred by CBCA will be assessed to the property owner.

Only standard boatlift covers (vinyl-canvas) of any color may be used.

The CBCA boat ramp and dock may be used by any member of the association in good standing. Use by non-members is prohibited.

The CBCA workboat is for the purpose of maintaining the common lake properties including the islands, buoys and other purposes as approved by the CBCA Board. The workboat shall not be used for personal use by anyone.
