For the third summer in a row, a company has cleared Albany’s Waverly Lake of virtually all of its unwanted growth of water plants and algae.

The other day somebody wondered on social media why the new fountain and aerators in Albany’s Waverly Lake were not working. But if they were off, it was because the power was out.
Ah, there it is, the sparking new fountain in Albany’s Waverly Lake!
