September 23, 2008--Mussels in hot water at Lake Pueblo (Pueblo Chieftain)
A hot-water wash designed to kill mussels on contact has been installed near the North Shore Marina at Lake Pueblo State Park. The $500,000 decontamination station, informally called the “boat wash” is a metal rack about 40 feet long that captures most of the water and recycles it in an adjacent water treatment plant. The plant separates oils and filters the water for reuse. The whole thing runs on just 500 gallons of water.
