[link to www.foxwilmington.com] UNC Wilmington Biology Professor Larry Cahoon was alerted of a bloom of microcystis, the same blue-green algae that polluted Toledo's water supply, north of the Lock and Dam #1 on the Cape Fear River. Both New Hanover and northern Brunswick Counties have water intake systems in the affected area, but CFPUA spokesperson Mike McGill said their water supply is not at risk because of their advanced water treatment system. "We have an advanced filtration system that includes o-zone and biologically active carbon filters that actually kill the algae, and remove it from our system," McGill explained. |
