Canyon Lake’s 11th alum treatment completed

Canyon Lake’s 11th alum treatment
wraps up today with clean-up. The treat-
ments began on Monday with doses of
alum applied to the main body, East Bay
and the area north of the causeway. The
lake remained open during the entire
treatment process with little disruption
to recreational users.
Being that Canyon Lake is located
near the end of the watershed, it receives
high levels of nutrients, such as nitrogen
and phosphorus, as a result of stormwa-
ter runoff. These nutrients encourage
algae growth. By adding alum to the wa-
ter, it immediately binds to the phospho-
rus causing it to neutralize and become
inactive.
Alum, the method selected to provide
the best results for Canyon Lake, is a
naturally occurring mineral that has a
proven track record of success. Accord-
