Keatons Lake was treated for the Harmful Algal Bloom today, July 2, 2024 with a ½ dose (80 gallons) of copper sulfate. Specialists from Solitude Lake Management will return in 2 weeks to administer the second ½ dose. Re-testing will be done Tuesday, July 9 which may allow us to remove the advisory.
Keatons Lake has been experiencing a Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB). People and pets should refrain from swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding or any other activity with a risk of ingesting water.
LOWA advises avoiding any surface scums you may see in the water. Scums are bright green and tend to travel around the lake with the wind and are often trapped in wind protected locations,such as the back end of coves and along structures such as bulkheads. Algae cells will travel throughout the water column. Just because you can't see it on the surface does not mean it isn't there!
The MAIN LAKE is OPEN. There are NO advisories in effect at this time.
