According to the latest water quality report for July 23, 2024 from the Devils Lake Water Improvement District (DLWID), all areas tested are "green" meaning low risk with water temps between 70-74 degrees. Results are posted at DLWID.org.
According to a news release from DLWID, "At this time, there seems to be an abundance of algae in the water. If you see blue-green (turquoise) algae, please report to [email protected]. For a list of all active cyanotoxin advisories visit the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) website."
And while the desire and the knowledge of what needs to be done is available, what appears to not be available is the ability of the various government agencies with their respective fingers in the Devils lake pie to cooperate to save the lake and the creatures that depend upon it for life.
