With the amount of rain we’ve had, runoff has been pushing a heavy nutrient load into many ponds and lakes — which fuels filamentous algae growth fast. We’ve been out algae treating as aggressively and responsibly as conditions allow, but Mother Nature has had other plans some weeks.
You may also notice we haven’t been applying heavy pond dye applications in certain ponds lately. That’s intentional. In many cases, water has been moving through systems so quickly that dye would simply wash right out the overflow and down the drain. We’d rather be honest and strategic with treatments than waste product and your money.
The good news: As soon as we get a more stable weather window, Pond Control Services will be right back at it full force. We’re monitoring conditions daily and adjusting treatment plans to get the best possible results for every property.
We appreciate everyone’s patience during one of the wetter spring seasons Northeast Ohio has seen in a while. Stay tuned — we’re on it. 💪🌿💧
