Info for Private Waterbody Owners

A Resource for Private Pond Owners

A new website has been launched to help owners and managers of private water bodies understand and address Harmful Algal Blooms. This toolkit offers a variety of resources tailored for smaller private water bodies in Kansas, see the toolkit for details.

  1. How are private & public water bodies defined?
  2. I have a farm pond or own property adjacent to a private lake. Can KDHE sample & test it?
  3. I believe that one of my animals got sick or died from exposure to blue-green algae on a privately-owned waterbody. Whom do I contact?
