ALERT! Blue-Green Algae Concern in Green Lake
There are reported patches of toxic Blue-Green algae blooms in some of Green Lake shallow shorelines.
How do I protect myself, my family, and my pets from Blue-Green algae blooms?
• Don’t swim, water ski, or boat in areas where the water is discolored or where you see foam, scum, or mats of algae on the water’s surface.
• Do not allow children or pets to play in or drink scummy water.
• Rinse off with fresh water as soon as possible afterwards, if you swim in water that might contain harmful algae blooms.
• Don’t let pets or livestock swim in or drink from areas where the water is discolored or where you see foam, scum, or mats of algae on the water’s surface.
• If pets, especially dogs, swim in scummy water, rinse them off immediately. Do not let them lick the algae and toxins off their fur.

2020 Green Lake Curly Pond Leaf Control Treatment
Green Lake was recently issued permission to use CPL invasive species herbicide Diquate for 50.5 acres. What does this mean? Diquate is far more effective than treatments we've been allowed to use in the past. It's able to kill the Curly Pond Leaf and Eurasian Watermilfoil for a 2 for 1 effect with less chemicals going in to the lake.

Green Lake Improvement District Purpose
Green Lake Improvement District (GLID) was incorporated as a non‐profit organization on July 1, 2001. It functions with an elected board and exists as a local government body under Isanti County. Information is disseminated to lake property owners and the general public via emailings and through the web site: http://www.greenlakemnid.com/news.php.
The GLID was initially formed to take over the ownership and operation of a water control structure at the confluence of Green Lake Brook and the Rum River. This mission has since been expanded to include the protection and improvement of Green Lake and its watershed.
