Candlewood Lake Authority reminds residents not to rake leaves into the water

The foliage season came late and with the recent storm and winds, many more leaves have now fallen.  The Candlewood Lake Authority is reminding residents who are busy cleaning and raking up leaves, to rake and blow them away from the Lake.  The CLA says the vast majority of waterfront owners are careful, but every year some leaves get dumped into Candlewood.  Leaves that enter the water will decompose and become a source of excessive nutrients that could increase the likelihood of future algae blooms.  They could also accelerate the natural "filling in" process of a lake and deplete necessary oxygen as they decompose.
