Blue Green Algae: *INFO on OUR DRINKING WATER.Also Ponds closed to recreation at Irishtown Park, Centennial Park, Jones Lake.

Written by   on   in  
Yesterday's (June 24) Times Transcript has a story about our Moncton water supply and what they're planning to keep us safe from blue green algae...
Highlights:
- the two reservoirs Moncton uses are Turtle Creek and Tower Road. The article says they have enough water to last a pretty substantial drought (11 months or something without rain!) (still, please conserve water)
- blue green algae was previously found at the Tower Road reservoir but we have a system to handle the problem.
- new improvements are coming to safen up water treatment even more in case of more blue green algae.
