Treatment underway to neutralize algal bloom at Grand Lake

Berne Tri-Weekly News:

Use of watercraft is currently not restricted on Grand Lake St. Marys in spite of the fact that Ohio Department of Natural Resource (ODNR) officials are overseeing treatment of the lake to minimize effects of an algal bloom that is currently plaguing lake waters.

"Recreational users of the three public beaches at Grand Lake St. Marys State Park are advised against swimming and wading, water should not be swallowed, and surface scum should be avoided," according to ODNR media relations coordinator Jason Fallon.
