The City of Pflugerville, Texas, has completed six weeks of unwanted vegetation removal at Lake Pflugerville, the City announced Thursday.
According to a release by the City, the process resulted in 250 boat loads and approximately 500 cubic yards of aquatic vegetation removed.
The aquatic plant harvester cuts the vegetation down approximately 2-5 feet from the surface of the lake. It will not be fully removed since it benefits fish and oxygen levels in the lake. The process helps keep swimmers and watercraft from coming into contact with the vegetation as well as removing the nutrients that the plants hold.
