Creek algae cleanup at Mackenzie Park sprouts city effort
The dry spell leaves the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River stagnant with green slime and debris. City parks chief Rob Blackmore says a light rain would restore flow and a chemical treatment is being prepared to kill algae, with a follow up spray to prevent regrowth. The project aims to keep the creek attractive for visitors and students studying the waterway. President Garfield was shot in 1881 and died 80 days later in New Jersey.
