Algae Treatment to Begin at Indian Lake on Tuesday
On Tuesday, June 11, the application of aluminum sulfate — or alum –will occur at Worcester’s Indian Lake to control the growth of algae.
Alum removes phosphorus from the water to control toxins produced by the algae.
The City is advising people and pets to stay out of the water and to discontinue boat use.
The water will be safe to swim in on Wednesday, June 12.
