The center pond feature of their park began showing algae shortly after the winter thaw. The thick brown and green scum covered the pond so quickly, baby ducks actually walked on top of it. Local park goers took note that it was the worst they\u2019d seen, prompting city officials to act. Healthy Ponds has been working with them ever since.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How pond algae starts<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a lot of contributing factors to pond algae. Temperature, sunlight, decaying plant or fish waste act as fuel for algae. Most algae have pretty simple requirements to live: sunlight, Carbon Dioxide, and nutrients. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of Alexandria, Minnesota, the city turned to the Department of Natural Resources to identify the cause. They suspected the park\u2019s substantial geese population as the cause, bringing algae in when they landed on the water. Dredging was not a great option, as pond sediment is difficult to dispose of properly. That\u2019s when the city met Healthy Ponds\u2019 Mark Koepsell.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Healthy Ponds\u00ae proposes natural bacteria solution<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a Healthy Ponds\u00ae Golf Course Account Representative, Mark Koepsell knows a pond when he sees one. He took note of the city\u2019s pond problem while visiting their family cabin in Alexandria. He approached with a solution. He informed the city he could clean up their pond problem and make them more appealing to the public. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthy Ponds inspected two of the city\u2019s ponds, suggested a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/healthyponds.com\/treatment-plan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">treatment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and offered an inexpensive <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/healthyponds.com\/our-products\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">solution<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
