Algae Bloom Advisory for Mountain View Pond

The Town of Gardnerville has observed an algae bloom at Mountain View Pond, located at the south end of Snaffle Bit Drive. The algae appears to be a type of cyanobacteria, which can sometimes produce toxins that are harmful to people and animals. The Town is currently working with the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection to determine whether this bloom poses a health risk. Test results are expected within approximately two weeks.

For Your Safety
Until test results are received, please:

Avoid all contact with pond water.
Do not allow dogs or other pets to swim in the pond.
Do not allow pets to drink pond water.
Keep children away from the water's edge.

Warning signs have been posted around the pond to alert visitors of these precautions.

Background
The last suspected harmful algal bloom at Mountain View Pond occurred in 2021. Testing at that time found that while the algae had the potential to produce toxins, the risk was considered relatively low because cell counts were moderate and did not meet bloom conditions. The Town is hopeful that current testing will produce similar results.

The Town will provide updates as additional information becomes available.

There was a distinctive green bicycle abandoned at the Snaffle Bit Trailhead by the Mountain View Pond. After leaving it there for a few days Town Staff removed it. We will hold it for a week or two. If it is yours please contact the Town Offices to arrange to pick it up (775-782-7134). It looks like the bike could get some sweet air!

The Town of Gardnerville was honored to host Senator Catherine Cortez Masto for a tour on July 3rd. During her visit, she learned more about our community’s needs and explored opportunities for partnership with the federal government.

We’re grateful for her support in securing a $1.26 million Economic Development Initiative Grant for the reconstruction of Industrial Way, and for recommending an additional $1.1 million to improve Pep Circle, Service Drive, and Venture Drive.

Even though Gardnerville is a small town, we truly appreciate the Senator taking time out of a holiday weekend to meet with our representatives.

Starting on Monday, July 6th Qualconn Contractors will begin the reconstruction of Industrial Way. The work involves removing and replacing damaged concrete curbs and valley gutters as well as all the pavement within the limits of the roadway. The work is expected to take 45 working days with construction finishing the first week of September.

Some of the most intense work will take place over night to avoid disruption to the area. Over the next few weeks work will occur during the day. Access to businesses will be maintained however, there may be delays or modifications to business access.

This $1.34 million dollar project is possible due to a federal grant from Housing and Urban Development. The Nevada Congressional Delegation including Senator Cortez-Masto, Senator Rosen and Congressman Amodei were instrumental in providing $1.26 million towards the project.
