Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) have recently become more predominant and common in the Western Basin of Lake Erie. The water treatment industry recognizes the potential harmful effects of HABs and is attempting to close gaps in understanding and detecting HABs. The Department of Public Utilities, Division of Water Treatment is concerned about the long term protection of consumers from the potential consequences of algal toxins in drinking water and is pursuing innovative ways of monitoring water quality as related to HABs. The buoy will provide invaluable real time data to the Water Treatment Division and researchers on all levels, NOAA, Federal EPA, Ohio EPA, DNR, Army Corps and provide real time data for use by news media outlets, coast guard, charter boat operators and recreational boaters and others through a configurable web access.
