Most guidelines suggest that if you see a bloom, stay out of the water for 24 hours, and especially do not let pets drink from the water during this time. The Town of Ulysses is proud to support two affiliates: the Cayuga Lake Watershed Network and the Community Science Institute, two amazing non-profit organizations partnering to provide the most up to date information on most recent blooms. See their data here: http://www.communityscience.org/cayuga-lake-2018- harmful-algal-blooms-results/ Link here to view more information from the NYS DEC: https://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/77118.html VILLAGE OF TRUMANSBURG: ROAD CLOSINGS ON SATURDAY 8/11 FOR BIKE RACE Village residents should be advised that parts of the following streets will be closed from 8am-4:30pm on 8/11 for a bike race: Bradley, Strowbridge, Old Main, Washington, Seneca, McLallen and Congress.
