The six-month trial of a new state-of-the-art treatment designed to reduce Lake Albert's blue-green algae is commencing with the installation of the units occurring over the past two weeks.
Hydro2050 involves technology using ultrafine bubbles of oxygen and ozone to increase the lake's oxygen levels and manage the level of blue-green algae.
Council's Manager City Growth & Regional Assets Ben Creighton said the trial will consist of five separate units positioned around the lake.
"Hydro2050 is now in the final process of getting the units operational," Mr Creighton said.
"We expect all five units to be up-and-running very soon."
Mr Creighton said the treatment has already experienced success internationally.
"This trial is part of Council's ongoing efforts to rehabilitate Lake Albert.
"Council will assess results at the end of the trial and determine whether Council will continue using Hydro2050 into the future."
