HEY JETHRO, FISH IS BITIN'

I got to get me one of them concrete ponds! Bluegill, bass and catfish right outside the back door. WHOOEE!

"Debra Mitchell is a lead code compliance officer for the Village of Wellington. During the collapse of the housing market, the community was left with a large number of foreclosed homes.
Pointing out one example Mitchell said, "It has an unsanitary, abandoned swimming pool, stagnant swimming pool. There's no electricity running at this location."

The code compliance department was paying nearly 7,000 dollars a year to dump chemicals into the pools to treat the scummy buildup.

That's when Mitchell and some of her colleagues came up with an environmentally-friendly idea to get rid of the green. An idea with a much lower price tag of just 700 dollars.

"Some of us got clever and decided to try the fish-eating...er algae eating fish," she said."
