Hopefully this outage won't last too long!

Hi Friends! Here is a very informative article from Carson Valley Vet about the Blue Green Algae. Definitely worth the read! 🐾🐕‍🦺🌊

In light of the recent spotlight on Blue Green algae toxicity, we wanted to share some resources that the state's Nevada Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) Task Force has put together to help answer any questions that you may have. The Nevada HAB task force monitors waterbodies throughout Nevada, as well as the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe.

Here is a link to a press release that was sent out a couple of weeks ago to educate Nevadans about the danger of HABs: https://dcnr.nv.gov/blogs/hab-task-force-introduces-new-tracking-tool

The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection HAB resource page provides information of identifying harmful algal blooms, as well as a way to report a bloom. https://ndep.nv.gov/water/rivers-streams-lakes/water-quality-monitoring/harmful-algal-bloom-program/hab-resources

The HAB Dashboard was recently launched to provide current information on confirmed HABs. https://app.powerbigov.us/view?r=eyJrIjoiOGEzY2FkMDAtMzNhNC00OTYyLTg0ZDYtYjc2YThkNWI4NWZjIiwidCI6ImU0YTM0MGU2LWI4OWUtNGU2OC04ZWFhLTE1NDRkMjcwMzk4MCJ9

Here is the latest update from the City of South Lake Tahoe (Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board):
The City of South Lake Tahoe has posted advisory signs at El Dorado Beach of harmful algae that may be present in the water.
The Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board did complete a site visit this morning and there were no obvious visual indicators of a harmful algal bloom or algae in general at El Dorado Beach/shoreline.
They will also be collecting water samples today and should have test results by the end of the week.
The Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board collects samples frequently to test for harmful algae in the Lake. The last testing was conducted on 6/11/24 at several beaches. No visible algae were present during those visits, and sample results did not indicate the presence of cyanobacteria or the toxins Microcystin or Anatoxin-a.
Sites sampled include Connolly Beach (Timber Cove Marina), Regan Beach, and Taylor Creek Marsh (which was ponding on Kiva Beach). Other sites visited in Lake Tahoe that showed no visual signs of algae were present were Kiva Beach, Commons Beach, and Kings Beach.
