The City of Richmond’s Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities hydro-raked Byrd Park’s Fountain Lake on Nov. 18 to remove algae from the lake’s bottom. The project began about two weeks ago, according to Tamara Jenkins, public information manager for Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities. The $387,500 project, which should be completed by the end of the year, is being conducted by SOLitude Lake Management, a national environmental company with offices throughout the country. According to the company’s website, its work will make a noticeable difference in that SOLitude, “focuses on making water a more healthy and beautiful part of our world.” We’ll see if the ducks agree.
