Good morning everyone-

It is that time of year again when Oneida County lakes are experiencing blue-green algae blooms.  At this time we have confirmed reports of blue-green algae outbreaks on the following lakes:

Pelican Lake

Lake Nokomis

Sand Lake

This is not an all-inclusive list, there may be other lakes experiencing algae-blooms that I am not aware of.  I have attached a  wonderful document that explains what blue-green algae is, what it looks like, helpful tips, and links to even more information!  If you suspect a blue-green algae bloom on your lake, please contact Jim Kreitlow, James.Kreitlow@wisconsin.gov, or Gina LaLiberte, Gina.LaLiberte@wisconsin.gov. 

Stay safe everyone!

Unfortunately the "wonderfull document" is 31 pages long and I was unable to attach it here, but if anyone would like it I, or any of the Board Members can forward it to you by email.
