Denver (KDVR) – Lake Sloan, a famous place for walking, running and bike, is the home of geese, ducks and a lot of fish. However, it faces a serious bacterial problem.
“Green blue algae is a problem. Fish kill a problem. It is something that we have to deal with,” said Lake Park’s CEO at Sloan’s Lake Park.
And deal with it quickly. The shallow water in Lake Sloan makes it a major raising floor for blue green algae columns, which can be dangerous for pets and people.
It says that with Festiva, famous for the next dragon boatThe watch exceeds here, the watch is directed to remove it, otherwise it will risk losing the festival to a different location.
“We have to return it to a healthy depth,” Wifer said. “This is the only long -term solution.
Getting the largest lake in Denver is a long arrangement, which requires removing deposits and keeping water moves to prevent algae from formation. Some lake pioneers say this is a long time.
“I feel strange that no one has done anything yet. As you know, as much as pollution on the lake.” Francisco Ledisma, residing in Denver, said.
But work may start soon, while thinking about the dragon boat festival. Waver says cleaning is the maximum priority.
“When you get news stating that someone cannot use the lake or the garden because of the problems it faces, it only destroys the effort we have to fix this thing, and return it to health so that the community can use it. We want our dogs to be able to swim there. We can swim there. We want to be able to use the lake actually again,” Wifer said.
Weaver adds that the organization has received $ 5 million of vibrant bonds, some temporary cleaning projects and planning for larger projects such as removal of deposits. It also encourages the audience to play their role, pick up garbage, and take everything that does not belong to the garden, outside.
