“You want to
know what is in the water. I mean, the ducks are here and sometimes the
dogs go in the water and you want to know it is save for them,” said
Ford.
“It’s a big concern,” said area resident Elaine Gray, who
has lived near the lake for more than 30 years. “It makes me wonder
about the quality of the water and what is causing the deaths.”
