KOSCIUSKO COUNTY — The Lilly Center for Lakes & Streams samples the 12 all-sport lakes around Kosciusko County, plus Center and Pike lakes, on a weekly basis. This summer, they also added Waubee Lake and Silver Lake to their weekly research schedule and yearly studies.

According to the results of last year’s Decade Lake Study, both lakes consistently had microcystin toxin levels above the pet safety threshold.

Residents around Waubee and Silver lakes can now sign up for weekly email notifications about toxin levels. This information can help residents make informed choices on using the lake with their families and pets.

To sign up for the toxin notification email list, go to lakes.grace.edu/microcystin.
