Risks

High density of sewage conduits creates elevated pressure on the bathing water. Upstream houses may not be connected to the sewage network. Intense precipitation can trigger overflow structures and accidental failures of pumping systems, resulting in untreated sewage discharge into the lake. Possible inadequate management of the sewage network. No cyanobacterial proliferation risk identified. No macroalgae, phytoplankton, or invasive species proliferation documented.
