Latest Updates 08/06/2024 2024 WATER QUALITY UPDATE: Conditions on Androscoggin Lake have now reached “lake-wide algal bloom” status, with the most recent Secchi Disk Transparency (water clarity) reading taken on 8/5/2024 at just 1.79 meters. The state of Maine defines the threshold for a “lake-wide algal bloom” at 2 meters and a “harmful algal bloom” (or HAB) at 1 meter of water clarity. The dominant type of algae causing this bloom is a species of cyanobacteria called Dolichospermum. This is the most common bloom-forming species in Maine lakes, and is the same species responsible for the blooms in 2021 and 2023. Under certain conditions, this type of cyanobacteria can release toxins that are harmful to animals and humans. The reasons cyanobacteria produce toxins is not well understood, and standard monitoring techniques cannot predict when a bloom has toxins in it.

Hello Neighbor:
Through the cooperative efforts of the Town and the Leeds Community Church, the church has
been designated as the town’s Emergency Shelter / Warming Center. The town’s EMA Director will
determine when the center will open: generally during times of prolonged power outages and cold
temperatures or when roads are impassable due to flooding or downed trees. The shelter will provide
residents with a place to get warm, take a shower, get water and have a warm meal. If needed,
overnight accommodations can also be set up within the church.
BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP! This will work ONLY if there are community volunteers to help man
the shelter when it is opened to prepare food, assure people are comfortable, and address any concerns
that may arise. We are now trying to develop a volunteer call list to be used only during times of a
declared opening. If you are interested in helping, please call the Town Office for more information.
Thanks for your consideration.
