Dissolved oxygen readings taken a one point at Lake today Wednesday 2/12/20 was from    8-10 ppm dissolved oxygen in lake water - air temp 46 F- Water temp - 43 F

Dissolved oxygen reading taken at one point at Lake Wednesday 3/4/20 was 10-12PPM dissolved oxygen in lake water - air temp 62 F - Water temp 48 F

Dissolved oxygen reading taken at one point at Lake Tuesday 3/10/20 was 12 PPM dissolved oxygen in lake water - air temp 71 F - Water temp 52 F - Water PH at 7.0

The PPM concentration of dissolved oxygen in lake came up.

Next readings will take place in near future see if additional improvements have been made due to lower air temperature, rain and wind!
