FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Malibou Lake now under AquaBio’s Comprehensive Maintenance Plan
Agoura Hills, CA – September 17th, 2018 – AquaBio has recently begun working for the Malibou Lake Mountain Club. This is an exciting project to improve and maintain good water quality and clarity for the lake.
Malibou Lake is a picturesque spot surrounded by the Santa Monica Mountains, and has been a popular filming location for decades. It is part of the Malibu Creek Watershed, which is the second largest watershed draining to the Santa Monica Bay, with the infamous Surfrider Beach at the end.

Although close to the Los Angeles metropolis, a lot of the watershed is undeveloped. However, many of its streams are listed as Impaired Water Bodies for several pollutants (trash, nutrients, and bacteria) under the Clean Water Act section 303(d) for California.
By using our natural beneficial microbial blends and dyes, in conjunction with proper aeration throughout the lake, we will be able to maintain a balanced ecosystem essential to good water quality. An aggressive and adaptive management strategy is needed in a location such as Malibou Lake, which experiences consistent and differing pollutant sources.
It is our hope that over time we can demonstrate, not only to the Malibou Lake Mountain Club, but all watershed stakeholders, a holistic approach in halting the degradation throughout the watershed, including Malibou Lake.
