Aware-Munkie on May 23, 2026 7:01 am Urban Utilities has posted a notice about water quality a bit further downstream, could be related? https://preview.redd.it/0ssurrsk5u2h1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58ab547df8a733f2ae330254d266f4345d3bad0a

purplepistachio on May 23, 2026 9:15 am Pretty sure this is just fluid dynamics caused by wind. Something similar to Langmuir circulation. You see these patterns all the time on breezy days
