HORSETHIEF LAKE and FISH KILLS.

A note from your General Manager.

I have observed in my 17 years plus (1994-2010 and 2018-2019) of working in the district of what is called "Fish Kills" in the Horsethief Lake.

Research has told us that this time of year there are Algal Blooms and a depletion of oxygen in the lake.  It is a common, natural occurrence and is sometimes referred to as a lake turnover.  There has been no man-made action that has triggered this occurence.
