But even more interesting is these questions: do you really think these health hazards created by failures of aging infrastructure are restricted to Lake Barcroft?<br />And when water is declared 'safe' that stops long-term environmental effects?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-24783662413532584802014-06-20T10:07:29.052-04:002014-06-20T10:07:29.052-04:00oops - fixed it.oops - fixed it.Annandale Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543558586252790593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-40983401820488231572014-06-20T09:50:53.918-04:002014-06-20T09:50:53.918-04:00While this is all very interesting from an environ...While this is all very interesting from an environmental perspective, people should keep in mind that Lake Barcroft is a private lake. Anyone who isn't a Lake Barcroft resident or in the company of a Lake Barcroft resident is a trespasser - whether they are swimming, ice skating, fishing, boating, or just enjoying the view. Therefore, except for those of us affected by the unexplored downstream impacts from the spills, most people are completely unaffected by these events if they simply respect the property rights of those who pay taxes to the Lake Barcroft Watershed Improvement District. And yes, trespassers can be prosecuted. Maybe that realtor who was attacked by a rabid beaver last year would have preferred being arrested.<br /><br />P.S. - It's a "dam", not a "damn".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-72535794916933791022014-06-19T23:39:07.692-04:002014-06-19T23:39:07.692-04:00Test results show “no detectable levels of human b...Test results show “no detectable levels of human bacteria” in the water samples taken off each of the beaches, a notice posted on the Lake Barcroft website June 19 states. The beaches have been reopened, and people can swim in the lake. Bacteria results were higher in the water directly off the Woman’s Club Garden (although still well within state standards for swimming), so the “no swimming sign” is still up in that area.Annandale Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543558586252790593noreply@blogger.com
