Carstens Lake Water Quality Project Fall Update

October 2024 Project Update

Exciting news, we are beginning construction this week on the Sedimentation Basin for Carstens Lake. The entire process is expected to take about a month. At that point, we will begin working with UW-Stevens Point to incorporate the phosflow sorption medium. This is the second element to this project, following up on the wetland scrapes completed last fall.  More project information can be found here.
