Hello Everyone
The algae in lakes 11 -14 went crazy on the 1st and is getting worse every day.
The algae has pretty much covered the entire surface of the water except where the aerators are pushing the water.
The lake smell at night is getting stronger by the day. I assume that is from the algae and no wind to dissipate the smell.
This year we have endured the hottest on record. In 2023 we had 127 days over 100, with 55 of them being over 110. So far this year, we have had 134 days over 100 with 80 days being over 110.The weather forecast indicates that we will not see below 100 degrees until mid October. Here’s hoping we do get a break in the heat soon!
I understand that we have to be careful about using chemicals while it is still very hot.
I certainly don’t want more fish to die and all of the associated work and cost.
The new algaecide and a foam inhibitor will be applied later this week. Hopefully the new algaecide will help us address the algae problem.
Thank you,
