Lake Update

This first treatment of the Lake has taken place and the crew will be back in a couple of weeks for the 2nd treatment. The areas treated were the fingers, coves, and shoreline including areas around the bridge, boat launch, beaches, and Lake Club and Indian Lake. It will take 14-21 days to start seeing results. The next treatment will consist of the middle portion of the lake along with spot treatments that are needed. Odds are you will see more algae blooms as the plants start to die off. This will also be looked at during the next treatment time.

The reason the Lake level has dropped is due to the sediment and brown water caused by higher water levels and erosion in Cottonwood Creek. The area where Cottonwood Creek and the Sacramento River meets is close to where our pump is located. We could damage our equipment if too much sediment is put through the system. Nor do we want to pump brown water into the lake. The river is starting to clear up and water levels in the Lake will be increased as soon as possible.
