MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Susan Ash who lives in Royalwood close to the Fountain View Park which has a large bowl like fountain which is a centre piece to the pond to keep algae at by by aerating the water. With the fountain off there has been a noticeable increase in algae that has kept many people from taking their small watercraft onto the water. Ash, and some other residents, want the city to restart aeration fountains that were shut off due to a budget cut. She said the algae smells terrible, puts off a bad odour and raises concerns about property values. 200708 - Wednesday, July 08, 2020.
