I've noticed that there seems to be quick a bit of organic phosphate (can't read with a normal test kit) in the tap water lately, lots of people are having algae problems. I have a softie tank I've never used RO/DI water with and all of a sudden I have cyano issues, every time a do a water change it gets worse. A friend of mine also in St. Albert is having the same problem but I'm not sure if it is city wide.
Best solution is using RO/DI if you can and some method of phosphate control. Better skimming should help too.

I had a Phosphate spike as well!
