Lake Norman is facing a problem with blue-green algae, which has been a concern for about two years.
According to WCNC Charlotte, Homeowners in Cornelius have raised complaints about the algae, prompting agencies to provide $60,000 in funding for a treatment plan.
The treatment, led by the NC State Extension, involves distributing an algicide to combat the algae at a cellular level.
The goal is to make Lake Norman the cleanest lake in North Carolina by addressing the algae infestation early on.
The next treatment is scheduled for June 10, with ongoing evaluations to determine the effectiveness of the program.
Homeowners and lake users are encouraged to report algae sightings on Duke Energy’s website.
