I had a conversation with an environmentalist working on the prairie
restoration at Lake Nokomis and she confirmed that the issue with Hiawatha
is not just the golf course but that it is a conduit for Minnehaha Creek.
That contributes a lot of runoff pollution to the lake, including E coli. So
it's not just the immediate neighbors but everyone upstream who contributes
to the lake's problems.

I have not signed up for communicating via e-democracy, but I wanted to let
you know that both our park board representative, Carol Kummer....and our
council rep, Sandy Colvin Roy, are both on top of this.

I've heard a lot of conflicting information on the safety of Lake Hiawatha
for swimming. Who is the authoritative source and what can they tell us?
I recall hearing warnings last summer a few days after swimming in the
water
at the open beach with my then 1.5 year old and wife. My son loves the
little minnows and we had a great time. How do we look-up the safety day to
day
this summer? Otherwise, I doubt we will swim in the lake again.
Also, speaking of algae what is the city golf course doing to mitigate its
effect on water quality? Do they use much fertilizer?
