Lots of wind daily stirring the surface of Hyrum too... So it really makes me wonder if the test was accurate... Water surface temperatures were warm like I think 75 degree range if I remember correctly, but down to 59 degrees within about 4-5 feet... Would be nice if it shutdown the power squadron though... Well get past this weekend and hopefully that pond will be a whole lot less popular... Then i'd love to return... Later Jwell, e coli is a bacteria, not an algae. e coli is not visible. I am not sure of any relationship to algae blooms other than that the water and conditions that supports one likely supports the other.

Update September 3, 2021 (Waterborne Pathogens)
The Warning Advisory for Waterborne Pathogens at Hyrum Reservoir has been lifted by the Bear River Health Department.
On August 31st, the DWQ monitoring team visited Hyrum Reservoir. Samples from the day use area contained E. coli levels of 123.6 MPN/100 mL which is below the UDWQ/UDOH recommended Warning Advisory threshold of 235 MPN.
Again, E. coki is a waterborne pathogen of fecal (human or animal) origin. Hyrum has been clear for cyanotixins that come from algea this summer,
Awesome, thanks for the update.
