Dane County's new technology vacuums hazardous algae blooms near beaches.
$20,000 for an algae vacuum initiative in his 2018 budget.

The system uses a pipe attached to a vacuum intake nozzle that pulls water and algae scum at the surface into filter bags. Once in the bag, clean water flows back into the lake and the algae and debris remain trapped inside.
