Due to current weather, Lake Springfield is stagnant and very warm. A perfect incubator for algae growth that causes taste and odor compounds. They are not harmful, but can give a dirty taste to the water. CWLP is feeding powdered activated carbon to help with the taste, but it will not remove it completely.
Copies of the information will be posted and available at the Village office.
