Pinellas County Public Works - Watershed assigned this issue to City of Largo

Drainage canal continues to GROW w invasive lake lettuce and is full of algaes The extreme amount of algae is effecting all wildlife.
Very possibly this was "brought in" when soil along banks of this water way was hauled in by multiple truckloads, then removed. The banks were built up then removed and built up again over several months.
At my last count the dirt on south bank was bought in and removed then brought back at LEAST 6-7 times!!
Poor waste of tax dollars and for what?

Canal still chocked with invasive leaf lettuce.
Canal wasnt having these issues until City brought in and removed( 6-8 times) many truck loads of soil.
They built out and removed over and over and over!
Drainage needs to be maintained. Leaf lettuce needs to be killed w appropriate aquatic plant killer that doesnt effect wildlife

most of "algae" seems to have been managed.The agressive Leaf lettuce remains and LOTS of it. perhaps you think its Lilly Pads? Send someone who knows how to spray this w an eco friendly spray. Back to Moving sand and dirt with a back hoe? adding sand and dirt, moving it takes DAYS? putting in dump truck? This is how we waste TAX money and keep adding algaes and who knows what Else? Is there a REASON for this ?

algae is better, invasive leaf lettuce has tripled! then it spreads thru our lakes!
heavy equipment is BACK moving sand and dirt at TAX payer expense. It brings in algaes and flora thats killing waterway????????????????????

thanks to City for bringing in an Airboat and crane to scoop Lake Lettuce.
unfortunately chunks were left behind and its rapidly growing back

Algae is. BACK in drainage canal..HELP
