We explain the causes of this poorer water quality to you below.
Stench from standing water in your recreational lake
Stench is caused by stagnant water that warms sharply in summer and can cause an oxygen dip in the water, which can lead to mass fish kills.
Mosquito nuisance
Mosquitoes like to lay their eggs in standing or slow-flowing water. A large amount of mosquitoes can affect recreational guests. Your guests will stay away to avoid itching, redness and irritation from mosquito bites.
Guests no longer come to picnic, swim or sunbathe on the waterfront patio. A drop in visitors and sales may be the result.
