Algae, suspected of being potentially toxic blue-green algae has been observed at Green Lake near Horsham.
Council’s Director of Technical Services, John Martin said that samples of water from the lake have been taken for laboratory testing to confirm the species of algae.
“Given the history of blue-green algae at Green Lake, it is most likely that what is being seen is potentially toxic, and Council is closing the lake to swimming and boating for the time being.
“People who come into contact with this water should wash affected skin immediately in clean water”, Mr Martin added.
“People are also advised not to use the affected water for cooking, drinking, washing or showering. Boiling the affected water will not make it safe to use.”
Council staff will continue to monitor the lake for the presence of toxic algae, and update the status as required.
