Lake County supervisor reports Green Solutions ozone trial, ultrasonic-buoy mitigation under discussion

Supervisor Sabatji, a member of the Lake County Board of Supervisors, said she will meet with Green Solutions and the city of Clear Lake to discuss the company’s product and a possible trial.

"Ozone is what they're utilizing to try and clear up the water some," Sabatji said, adding she learned about the product at a science symposium and believes Green Solutions "got approved, to move forward with a trial, I think or something like that." She also reported parallel work on "the ultrasonic buoy, mitigation," and a connection to the Lake Continuum of Care through the hub.

Why it matters: the comments indicate the county is exploring technology-focused approaches to water clarity and aquatic health. Sabatji framed the Green Solutions discussion as an initial step — she said she believes a trial was approved but did not provide formal documentation or a schedule at the meeting.

Details and context: Sabatji said she met Green Solutions during a science symposium and that the company is working through the county’s Blue Ribbon Committee. She did not provide the specific approval body, trial timeline, procurement steps, or technical reporting metrics. Separately she referenced work on an ultrasonic buoy mitigation project but did not describe vendors, budgets, or regulatory approvals.

What remains unclear: Sabatji said she "believes" the company had approval to move forward with a trial; the transcript records no formal motion, contract, or vote on the trial in this meeting. No budget figures, trial locations, duration, or monitoring plans were provided.

Next steps cited: Sabatji said she will meet with Green Solutions and city officials and attend related local meetings; she did not specify dates for the trial or public reporting milestones.
