Huron-Kinloss council is considering the purchase of an algae harvester.
Prompted by complaints from cottage owners along the shoreline in the township, council discussed the issue of improving beach clean-up, at its general committee meeting last night (Sept. 7).
Facilities and recreation director Mike Fair explained that the algae clean-up is currently being done by a contractor who is on-call to several municipalities and may or may not be available upon request.
The annual cost for the contracted services over the past four years is as follows:
- 2008 - $19,713.75
- 2009 - $8,400
- 2010 - $15,142 2011 - $17,300
