 ** Due to slightly elevated E. Coli levels

 

Potentially harmful blue-green algae blooms have been known to occur in this lake during the summer months.

Toxins from algae blooms can make people and pets sick.

If you see an algae bloom, assume toxins are present.

When algae blooms are present or suspected:

•              Do not swim in the water

•              Do not let pets go into or drink the water

•              Do not let children play in or near the water

•              Be cautious about eating fish from the lake. Do not eat the liver, kidneys, or other organs of fish caught in the water body.

•              Do not drink untreated water or use it for cooking. Boiling the water may increase toxins.

Algae blooms can look like foam, scum, or mats. Dense blooms can make the water appear bluish-green, turquoise, or like green pea soup. Fresh blooms may smell like freshly mown grass, while older blooms can smell like rotting garbage.

Blooms typically occur during late summer or early fall, but can occur anytime.

Although ingestion is the main concern, people or pets can also be exposed to the toxins in blue-green algae through inhalation or skin contact.
