Twice each year, June and September, water testing is performed by a team of members. Water samples are taken from the lake at select locations shown on the map below. Georgian Bay township provides us with testing plates. We have an incubator to cultivate the samples. After 30 hours the samples are read, and the results are shared yearly. This year we are very pleased with all of the results!
In addition, in the fall, Paul Wianko from Georgian Bay Township goes out with us to obtain samples for further analysis. He tests for Phospherous, Oxygenation and Clarity. This year he noted that the Clarity was good, oxygenation was slightly decreased, and the Phospherous levels were some of the highest in the past 15 years.
