2018 Blue-Green Algae Update
Visual observations of Three Mile Lake on July 31st by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit confirmed the likelihood of a start of a blue-green algae bloom. The MECP collected a water sample from the Deebank Village area (west end of the lake) on August 1, 2018. The sample was sent for algal toxin analysis. A Phytoplankton Specialist from the ministry’s laboratory services observed the sample and confirmed the presence of a bloom of blue-green algae based on the amount of algal material in the sample. We will let you know the results as soon as we get them, which is usually within a week or two.
Note that during the algal blooms since 2011, the test results have regularly exceeded the safe drinking level, but they have not exceeded the safe recreational water (swimming) level.
