ALGAE ADVISORY If large amounts of green scum are visible in the water, please take the following precautions: • Avoid swimming or contact with the water. • Do not drink the water (boiling or chlorination will NOT make the water safe). • Prevent pets or livestock from drinking the water along the shoreline, as this could be fatal to animals. • Do no eat fish from this lake that appear unhealthy. Blue-green algae, which can cause illness such as diarrhea, stomach cramps, and eye and skin irritations have been found at this beach in the past.
