Volunteers have been monitoring water quality in the 4 lake chain of the Lac des Roches watershed. By the third week in September, only a few more tests will be conducted to meet the required minimum number of readings by the BC Lake Stewardship Society. For the last three years, Phinetta Lake, Birch Lake and Little Lac des Roches have received special attention, known as Level 2 testing, by the Ministry of Environment. At the end of this year’s test, the data is analyzed and trended to give a health update on water quality. The detailed reports will be accessible through the Friends of Lac des Roches and Birch Lake Society website, www.lacdesroches.org.
