2014 Dam Insurance Proposal

The LSA Board has evaluated the possibility of obtaining dam insurance as a mechanism to pay for catastrophic failure and replacement costs.  The purchase of insurance is an option to reduce the risk of exposure to loss in the event of a situation that would cause the dam to fail or the water shed road area to be undermined by flooding.  The loss of the dam/lake would have a catastrophic impact on the value of our homes/lots in the Lake Shannon Homeowners Association community.

Risk management and loss control related to the dam have been a topic of concern for many Lake Shannon homeowners.  The dam is approximately 51 years old and has passed all inspections without issue.  I wanted to present a synopsis of the proposal from Lake Agency, underwritten by Alterra American Insurance Company. 

The proposed commercial property coverage for the dam is as follows:

Lake Shannon Dam:  address - 8048 Driftwood Drive
Earthen structure Dam:  $1,000,000 coverage
Replacement Costs
Coinsurance: 90%
Deductible:  $10,000
Flood & Earthquake Deductible: $25,000
Extended Coverage:
               Debris removal expense:  $5,000
               Pollutant clean up & removal:  $10,000
Total Estimated Premium:  $10,800.00 annually
Approximate cost per Property Tax ID:  $23.58/year

Please plan on attending the June membership meeting for a discussion on the interest/ feasibility of securing dam insurance. Your questions can be directed to Pamela Martin at [email protected] or by phoning 810-714-0930. The complete insurance proposal can be found by downloading the file below.
