Never been on that lake and no intentions on going.

I think I put that on my trees as a natural pesticide.

It's pretty neat, you can see down in the water as far the light lets you, about 30-40 feet. Clears the water right up - sans the floaters.
I've never understood why they don't nuke Elsinore with the same stuff.

Well if you can see down that far...In Elsinore that would be the bottom in half that distance. Does anyone really want to see the bottom of Elsinore?:D
Still sounds creepy.
We would go to Diamond Valley Lake but the restrictions are just a joke.

I thought Perris was being drained for dam repairs...is the water level up?:confused:

Its like 1/2 full and your right it's because of the dam.
Read OG's msds (material safety data sheet) link. No way I would go in there.

Have you had your boat inspected? I was there on Monday looking around and the lake was empty. Even with a 25mph speed limit and no body contact, it looks nice to hang on the water and do a little fishing. The launch ramp is crazy steep though.

Heavy duty requirements to pass their inspection.
Basically a toon/5 star emissions whacker playground.
Not how that lake was represented during construction. Was supposed to be a body contact, camping lake. How the tune changed after they got funded.

I was thinking the same thing..

I just did a google search and i wont be going in or near that lake. It is a health hazard and is harmful to the enviroment. I hope that is the wrong chemical that they are putting in.

They have been using Copper Sulfate at the lake for as long as I can remember - at least 25 years. Again, I'll take the Copper Sulfate over the floaters anyday:eek:

On Diamond Valley - MWD is a powerhouse. Even the Feds, NV and AZ can't seem to control them.:eek:

The copper sulfate primary purpose is for bacteria, but they like to use the algea cover story. The use levels are not dangerous to humans. But...it sounds bad so it must be bad. Just like the idea of recycling sewage water. Never mind it ends up cleaner than the regular water....drinking water that once had pee and poop has to be bad!!!

I think this filtered water is used by Budweiser.:D
Have they treated Canyon Lake with the stuff? That lake was always pretty clean as I remember.

A few years back (alright, like 10), there was a company crusining a pontoon around Elsinore - they had Copper Sulfate filters on the bottom of the toon, and it worked. I remember you could see the bottom at Elsinore, insted of pea soup.
Anybody else remember that?

It was 1995. I don't remember the filters, but there were a few articles written about it. The city did not think the clarity was from the filters, but rather from the excessive amount of rain that year, which flushed out the build up of green water. :idea:
