Council hears update on algae’s effect on city’s water supply

BY JEFF B. FLINN Managing Editor

A blue-green algae presence at Boerne City Lake continues to “muddy the water,” so to speak, about the city of Boerne utilities system’s water supply.

Recent reports of earthy -- or “dirty” -- tasting and smelling water have been reported for several weeks. Michael Mann, Boerne’s utilities department director, updated Boerne City Council during its November 14 meeting on the issue, its effects, and expectations for its dissipation.
