Broome County officials expect the beaches at Greenwood Park in Lisle to reopen this weekend after being shut down as a protective measure due to an algae bloom.
Algae blooms occur naturally in lakes and are influenced by weather and rainfall.
The algae bloom at Greenwood Park has already dissipated, according to Liz Woidt, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Youth Services for Broome County.
Algae blooms can last for hours, weeks, or months, but since it s already gone, the health department will test the water Friday and the beach could be ready this weekend. We followed the health department procedure, which is once it is cleared and dissipated and we don t see it, that starts the 24-hour clock and then the health department will come and check the water, said Woidt.
