For Cleaner, Clearer Water
Mona Lake Algae Treatment
“We’ve been working on this for 20 years almost,” said Don Trygstad, chairman of the Mona Lake Watershed Council. “It’s a slow process. I signed up to do this knowing it would take years and years and years.”
The council, comprised mainly of lakefront homeowners, has been dedicated to combatting the algae – and raising funds to do so — since it formed in 2003.

Trygstad watched as HAB Aquatic Solutions, a company out of Lincoln, Nebraska, operated a barge filled with barrels of alum loaded off of three waiting tanker trucks finally gave the lake the treatment it needed. About 150 acres of the lake were treated, with more planned in the coming years if this week’s treatment proves as successful as expected and enough money can be raised.

“The clarity will improve greatly,” Trygstad said. “You’ll see immediate impact.”
