Lake Whittier fish kill prompts city state probe
The discovery of well over 100 dead and dying fish at Lake Whittier spurred an investigation by City of Frederick public works officials and state environmental experts. Officials say lack of dissolved oxygen from multiple factors including algaecide use, nonworking fountains, and overcast weather caused the kill. Local fishing halted during treatment with plans to resume after two to three days of sun, with officials noting no safety risk to residents.
