Water Quality

The Save Hyde Lake Association participates in the Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program (CSLAP). Under this program trained volunteers take water quality samples and submit them to a state certified laboratory for analyses. The latest CSLAP sampling protocol requires eight sampling sessions scheduled biweekly over the months from early May through October.
