Usually people poop in a bathroom and the treatment plant filters it. I'd reckon that the ratio of fish poop to human poop is very high in a reservoir. I doubt the main algae culprit is human waste.

Unless you're Royale, then it's flowing nicely.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Too many people. Then they all move to places that have low taxes. What do you expect? The people gotta go potty some where. 1 hour ago, snafu said: Usually people poop in a bathroom and the treatment plant filters it.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 There have been reports of this stuff up in certain areas of Champlain. I think a dog and a girl got sick or something. What they were swimming in looked like spinach diarrhea. WTF? Who would even think of swimming in that *****? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 We got no problem here: One of the missions is sanitation. Every foot is 1 million gallons of water. That picture shows about 2 million gallons out the 6 million that is being flushed. 1.Sanitation (dilution) 2. Navigation 3. Flood control.

Marv's Neighbor Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Take em to Hemlock Lake. If it's good enough for Genny, it shouldn't hurt the dogs. For you Guiness drinkers, if you ever get to Dublin, take a look at the Liffey river, you may change brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 10-15 years ago this happened to a dog at a small lake in our town. There was also a beach which they closed to swimming at the time. This lake is close to a farming area and part of the issue is the nitrates coming off the farms and running into the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City plans to cover Highland Park reservoir to meet EPA guidelines https://13wham.com/news/local/city-plans-to-cover-highland-park-reservoir-to-meet-epa-guidelines About 15 years ago they drained the reservoir ... A couple of guns, numerous bicycles, a s-ton of plastic and glass bottles ... No bodies or bones though. This is Rochester's main water supply. ☠️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 8 hours ago, Gugny said: No autopsy and the vet said the dog "probably" died from toxic algae. On a lighter note, doggie mommy looks kinda hot. You made me look! We took our dog there years ago, and thought about going back when we recently drove past the lake. That’s now crossed off the list! 41 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: It's almost like the Earth is getting warmer or something. Buffalo will be the place to be!

Gugny Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I think I owe @Royale with Cheese an apology. He won't get one. I just owe him one.
