SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT UPDATE
Thursday, September 16, 2016
A blue-green algal bloom has occurred on Three Mile Lake. The MOECC took samples from different locations around the lake on August 15, 18, 30 and September 14th and tested for microcystins. The latest results (which are posted in the reports section under "Lake Stewardship"), ranged from 0.26 µg/L (micrograms per litre) in the mail basin (Shea boat launch) to 1.57 µg/L at the Dee Village Beach. The Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standard for microcystin-LR is a maximum acceptable limit of 1.5 μg/L. Health Canada’s recreational water guideline and therefore recreational use of the water (e.g. swimming, kayaking, waterskiing) is considered a low risk activity up to 20 µg/L (micrograms per litre).
The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit has issued a Public Notice. Please click here to see the latest.

Love Your Lake
Soon you will be having a Three Mile Lake volunteer visiting you with a package of interesting and important information. In the package will be a letter from Love Your Lake and Three Mile Lake Association. Please open this envelope and read it carefully. Inside the envelope is a survey that we strongly urge you to complete. This survey will tell us what is important to you and the number of surveys completed and returned will be used to measure the success of our Love Your Lake initiative.
