Hi everyone!
The Alberta Lake Management Society (ALMS) has released the 2022 study of the water quality in Muriel Lake as well as other lakes in the Lakeland area.
The water quality was found to be okay, but not as good as it was 50 years ago. The arsenic level is exceeded the CCME protection for aquatic life (Canadian Council for Ministers of the Environment) guidelines by double. The high limit is 5 micrograms per litre and Muriel Lake was at 10 micrograms per litre. While this is high, the lake water quality overall is still good.
As well Peter Cordingley, our president of MLBMS made a presentation to ALMS in February and the entire presentation can be viewed following this YouTube link: (Peter’s presentation starts at the 23:25 minute mark)
Take care!

If you would like drop bottles off during the winter, they can be dropped off at the Dove Centre in Bonnyville and you just need to state they are to be donated to the MLBMS.
Thanks!
