Chippewa Lake avoids algae bloom with new treatment
Chippewa Lake appears free of algal blooms for 2019 thanks to an experimental treatment by Israel’s Blue Green Water Technologies Ltd. The Lake Guard chemical was applied last August by Medina County Park District under a no charge case study. Officials caution that tracking bloom return depends on season conditions and satellite data via EPA, with blooms previously detected since 2014 due to nutrient inflows.
