Here's something interesting ...... the Waterville Valley D.P.W. Dept has today, June 24, hung a 3/4-hp electric ice-eater from the bridge above the dam, and it is moving the water presumably to disturb the pond water close to the town beach, and lower the levels of fecal bacteria so these two yellow signs from the NH-DES will be removed by the DES.
Is the same ice-eater used in the winter to control and eliminate ice build-up close to the dam. In the winter it creates open water. And now in the summer, is being used to splish-splash the pond water and hopefully help to eliminate the fecal bacteria.
Walking on the sandy beach this morning, there were many different feathers on the sand left there from the 45-50 Mallard ducks from last night at 9:15-pm. Any duck poop or urine was not obviously visible as it probably dissipated into the loose sand on the beach, very close to the water.
If this pond was a pool or a hot tub, chlorine powder sanitizer would be used to quickly eliminate the fecal bacteria because chlorine is a very strong and fast acting cleaner. So, why not just dump some chlorine powder sanitizer off the bridge, into the ice-eater water splish-splash and let the chlorine do its thing on the fecal bacteria? 25-lbs of chlorine powder sanitizer to the rescue in Corcoran's 7-acre Pond will most likely make all the fecal bacteria disappear and fast at the swim beach. It will send that no-good duck itch parasite straight to parasite hell!
Chlorine powder sanitizer is what gets used in a pool or a hot tub so's why not in this
