Parks and Recreation is aware of the algae bloom currently occurring in Sahuarita Lake. This is an annual event, typically observed between late November and early December, when the water cools and the lake undergoes a process known as "Turnover." As the water cools and the thermocline (the temperature-based stratification of the water column) breaks down, nutrients that have accumulated at the lake's bottom mix with the upper layers of water, where available sunlight stimulates algae growth. Parks Maintenance staff began treating the bloom on November 20 and will continue treatment until the issue is controlled. This process typically takes 6 to 8 weeks. Treatments are done in compliance with all applicable regulations, requiring a 7-14 day waiting period between treatments, depending on the algaecide used. All algaecides applied to Sahuarita Lake are approved by the EPA as safe for fish, fishing, swimming, and irrigation. We understand that the algae can be an aesthetic nuisance, and we are working diligently to restore the lake’s usual pristine appearance. We appreciate your patience during this process.
