Valley Shores Residents,
The HOA board is aware of the current Blue/Green algae bloom that is prevalent in different areas of the lake, especially those areas where the water is stagnant (ie coves) and the windblown side of Valley Shores. The board has contacted Nebraska Lakes Management and they will be here either Wednesday or Thursday to treat the lake prior to the Labor Day Weekend. Additionally several neighbors have inquired about the chemicals that Nebraska Lake Management uses to treat our lake and it’s safety especially for swimming and fishing after application. Below is the General Information data concerning Cutrine Plus
