[#0000FF]There are algae blooms every year. Some years worse than others. The toxic blue-green algae is always worse around harbors and near where treated wastewater (phosphorus laden sewage) comes in. Large parts of the lake receive good aeration from the winds and have no nutrient inlets so they are much lower in algae and less ugly.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]In the past two or three years of lake closures due to heavy algae blooms fish were tested for harmful results due to the algae. None have been found and there is no residual buildup in the flesh.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]However, people and pets should avoid areas of heaviest buildup and should never drink the water or allow any to get in their mouths while swimming.
