Welcome to SLA

Picture
Welcome to Square Lake Association (SLA for short). We hope you find this website useful in obtaining information about our community.  ​ Square Lake Association, a neighborhood membership organization, is comprised of two adjacent subdivisions, Square Lake and Meadowlands, containing approximately 172 properties. We also share the area with two condo associations which, although not a formal part of SLA, often join us in social events.

News and Events

  • The citizen plaintiffs won the class action suit against Bloomfield Township for Water and sewer overcharges (see judgement below.) The settlement  ordered is $3,690,271 of the approximately $9 million in overcharges identified, mostly because the record keeping for the township is quite poor.  The judge noted that calculations for water and sewer charges by the township were a "convoluted mess", "not transparent", "unclear" and "hardly verifiable."   There were many more comments which may be read in the full opinion.
