2nd Half Algae Treatment Planned for Monday, July 10

To complete the whole lake algaecide treatment, the second half is tentatively scheduled for July 10th. This will include the northern end of the lake starting  just north of the beaches. The following steps will be done similar to what was done for the first first treatment.

*Please note that with the uncertainty in the weather,  should these plans change, we will let you know as soon as possible. 

1) The lake level will be assessed and if necessary, it may be lowered to comply with the Ohio EPA requirements for this application. Please adjust your boat tie downs to accommodate the water level change. 

2) Please turn off all fountains or other devices that agitate the lake water in the application area on Monday AM.  They may be turned back on Wednesday, July 12.

3) The application will be applied during the day of July 10. 

4) Please refrain from any activities on the lake, including boating, jet skis, etc, starting Monday, July 10 to allow the treatment to be effective and to spread in a predictable manner. Boat traffic may resume on Wednesday, July 12. The boat ramp will be closed from Monday AM through Wednesday AM.

5) While the lake is deemed safe following the application, we are closing the beaches Monday July 10 through Thursday as a precautionary measure. Swimming and other activities involving direct contact with the lake should be avoided during this time. While unlikely, if you observe any undispersed product (a powder with a bluish tint), avoid direct contact and let the office know where it is observed.

6) Do not water your property with water from the lake during this period. While these steps may be inconvenient, they are necessary to insure the best chance for a successful application.
