TLA Swimmer's Itch Reporting Tool

Please complete our survey before October 31, 2018

In response to the survey Three Lakes Association did last fall, we received many reports of historical problems with swimmers' itch at several locations in our three lakes. In order to more completely determine the size of the problem and to more accurately determine what locations are the most affected, we invite you to report instances of swimmer's itch as you become aware of them during the summer of 2018. These results will help us to determine what resources should be devoted to dealing with swimmer's itch in our lakes.
