[#0000FF]I received this notice from the Utah Lake Commission yesterday. In checking with the sender I was told that the meeting is open to the public...and that those who wish to speak or ask questions will be allowed to do so.
[/#0000FF]
We will be holding a special governing board meeting this next Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. at the State park visitors center. The goal of the meeting is to discuss the Algae Bloom on Utah Lake. As part of the meeting we will have a presentation by the Utah Division of Water Quality, they have been heading up the monitoring and testing of water samples in partnership with Utah County Health Department and many other agencies.
We will also discuss some potential treatment options that have been vetted over the last couple days. With many downstream water users, agriculture, livestock, etc. being affected by the lake closure, consideration of an algae treatment may be a needed way to expedite the all clear and get water back to these users.
We hope you can attend.
Sincerely,
Eric J. Ellis
Executive Director
