With this year's early "Ice-Out", I'd be expecting a record year for algae growth.
In August about 13 years ago, our area had huge mounds of algae clogging lake water intakes. This problem even extended into "Leaf-Peeper" season!
The "fix" was a
side-perforated 1-gallon milk jug over the end of the pipe. The half-dozen perforations can be roughly cut to about 1" in diameter—each hole. The jug then is wrapped with window screening and held in place with a bungee cord.
Problem solved.
