Drink Up! Algal Bloom Doesn’t Affect Water Quality
The City of Plano has received notification from the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) that Lavon Lake is experiencing summer algal bloom. The bloom can impact the taste and odor of treated water for some sensitive water drinkers. This change doesn’t alter the quality or safety of City of Plano water which is provided by NTMWD.
NTMWD has taken several proactive steps to minimize the taste and odor changes caused by algal blooms. Visit the NTMWD links below for additional information.
Taste and Odor (General) - Includes a general fact sheet about taste and odor, a summer bloom information page, and a winter bloom information page.
Ozonation – Includes brief information about ozonation benefits and the NTMWD ozonation implementation plan at the Wylie Water Treatment Plants.
