Wind Lake Management District, Town of Norway, Racine County, WI

POTENTIAL LAKE LEVEL CHANGES - 08/19/2008
The WDNR is planning to approve a request to change the lake levels on Wind Lake. A public informational hearing will be held on September 10, 2008 from 3 to 7pm at the Norway Town Hall. The Wind Lake Management District opposes this request. To see the Environmental Assessment, contact DNR at 262-884-2355. View WLMD comments.

SWIMMING ALERT UPDATE - 08/07/2008
The results of the tests for toxic algae in Wind Lake have come in, and we are pleased with the results. The standard for drinking water is one ppb (part per billion) of toxic algae. That means when the reading is over that level, it is advised that the water not be consumed. The accepted standard for full body recreational contact is 20 ppb. The levels in Wind Lake came in at 3 ppb.

It is never a good idea to drink lake water, and that continues to be the case today. As far as swimming and other full body recreational activities are concerned, enjoy, and just continue to use common sense. Avoid areas with heavy algae blooms.

The Wind Lake Management District will undertake discussions with DNR to prevent alarming residents while monitoring future conditions. We will also request that DNR allow the chemical treatment that they denied two weeks ago.

For more information on the blue-green algae, visit the WDNR web site.
