Treatment taking care of algae on Morrison Lake

BOSTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Officials say they have treated Morrison Lake for potentially harmful algae blooms and that the water is safe.

Last week, Ionia County health officials said a type of toxin that can cause harmful blooms had been found in the lake just south of I-96 near Clarksville.

On Sunday, signs posted around the lake showed the water was treated Friday morning with thealgicide copper sulfate. A no-contact advisory was in effect for 24 hours after that.

“It looks like it’s clearing up pretty good. There’s a little bit of green on there, but (with) the hot summers, you usually get a little bit anyway,” neighbor John Philpott noted Sunday.
