Lake Erie Hypoxia Forecast

The UWSS will now be posting a Lake Erie Hypoxia Report, also received from the (NCCOS). In the summer the lake stratifies, with warm water on top and cold, dense, deep water below. This part of the lake is typically lower in oxygen levels and has a different chemistry. If strong winds or storms come in this can change operational practices at the WTP and our treatment processes are adjusted. We will be posting regular reports here throughout the summer season. The 2024 season is now closed, and the Final 2024 Hypoxia Report is posted.  Once the 2025 season begins we will post regular reports here.
