Clean Our Canals

We decided one of our first projects should be cleaning up the weeds and muck on our canals.  Thank you to all of the participants who donated for the underwater spray for the weeds in the canals in the Isle of Catalina neighborhood.  The home owners have reported that the treatment was successful and they are very happy with being able to navigate up and down their canal again.

Now that the underwater treatments are being applied, don’t forget that the battle is not over.  Consider contacting a few of your neighbors to chip in on purchasing “Muck Pellets” and also contributing to adding aerators and for repair of damaged aerators. In the links below are examples of the aerators being used and also the muck pellets being used.  These can be found on Amazon.

It will take all of us, contributing a little each, to keep our canals clean.

There is a muck removal process that we are considering.  View the video on for an example of how it works.  In the next few weeks we will be testing a modified version of this machine to see if we already have the basic machinery to build this type of system.
