This "green slime" is not always a bad sign. Most algae found in LWDD canals is not harmful to human health and provides a food source for aquatic life.
Managing aquatic vegetative growth within LWDD's 500 miles of canals is a monumental task. Using both mechanical and chemical methods help to make the task more efficient.
Residents are encouraged to use the District's online reporting form to inform us of canal maintenance that may be needed or other issues that may pose a safety or flooding risk.
LWDD is continually making enhancements to its Aquatic Plant Management Program to increase effiencies and decrease costs. We recently installed a new electronic inventory process that saves time and reduces paper.
