TD, are those your cousins Elroy and Leroy? They look familiar !! The problem is one of water. The water managers have held water that used to flow into Ut Lake in Jordanelle, Deer Creek, and other reservoirs rather than let it go into Ut. Lake. Couple that with the drought and high temps and you get the blooms. Blooms are not new to Ut. Lake. Rick Meyer's, who used to run Eagle Marine on Center Street in Provo, sold T shirts that read " Ski the Scum". No one ever closed the lake back then, people just went further into the center of the pond to escape the heavy algae along the shore. We have a bunch of nervous nellies now who are afraid of their own shadows, so they get publicity with their editics !!
