The heat waves and drought conditions that Mitchell has experienced this year is taking its toll on Lake Mitchell.
Parks and Recreation Director Nathan Powell said this summer has seen the most “warning” and “watch” advisory levels at Lake Mitchell since 2017, which is when the city began testing on a weekly basis. The first watch advisory was issued in late May, while the first warning came shortly after on July 8 and lasted until July 26, equating to a total of five weeks worth of advisories this summer.
