It’s time to drain Twin Lakes.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game and Juneau’s Parks and Recreation department drain the lakes once a year to control the invasive aquatic weed, milfoil. The lakes are refilled with salt water, which helps kill the weed without the use of herbicides.
Milfoil can damage the lakes’ ecosystem and interfere with recreational swimming and fishing.
Parks and Rec says the lakes should be refilled by Saturday.
