     History
    Bell Lake once served as the water supply lake in the Woodlawn area. Despite its proximity at the time to a major population center, most of the characteristics of this lake were and are still similar to those found in wildeness lakes where no development has occurred. A Dept. of fisheries and oceans survey in July of 1971 gives a pH of 5.5 for Bell Lake.

    By 1986 all of the Bell Lake watershed was urbanized. However, the water chemistry since has remained almost unchanged.

    pH levels:
    1971: 5.5
    1992: 5.67
    Current: Unknown
