Starting on November 30, 2023, a full lake herbicide treatment was initiated on Lake McCoy to control Hydrilla verticillata. A lethal concentration of herbicide (bispyribac) was maintained for approximately 230 days. The treatment was effective. No hydrilla was observed in the lake as of October 31, 2024.

Currently the herbicide concentration is equal to or less than 1 part per billion. All restrictions on irrigation or water usage are lifted. The full lake treatment is now complete.
