Water is clean for recreation.

Water clarity increased throughout the lake to above 2 meters at all stations, with maximum clarity reading of 3.0 meters in South Bay.  This may have been due to heavy downpour rain event on May 31st.  Cyanobacteria numbers decreased by about half during this period with total cyanobacteria numbers between 24K and 33K.
