According to the USACE web site, Lake Okeechobee stage is 9.65’ NGVD, which is 0.08’ higher than a week ago and 0.13’ higher than a month ago.  The current stage is 3.77’ lower than it was a year ago and remains approximately 4’ below its historical average for this time of year.  Reported surface inflows are 1003 cfs compared with 1039 cfs last week.  These values do not include gravity inflows through the S77 (not reported) and S308 (not reported) structures.  No surface outflows are reported.

 

Monthly algal bloom monitoring was conducted on the 12th of September.  Four of the 10 monitoring sites were dry and 1 site was not sampled due to boat problems.  An algal bloom was present at 1 of remaining 5 survey sites.  Water quality data from this trip will be available later in the month.
