We live about seven miles south from Weirs but have bacteria of a different kind -- gloeotrichia. Yesterday (and last summer) I spoke to DES about it and was told there is definitely a level of toxicity in it but not enough research has been done on this specific bacteria as of now. It appears as white specks suspended in the water column, but upon closer inspection the white specks are actually greenish-brown spores. DES did say that it is phosphate-related.
