The Blue Green Algae Red Alert at Lake Lyell has now been lifted as advised by the NSW Office of Water
The latest results issued have indicated that Blue Green Algae levels have dropped at Lake Lyell. Consequently, the Red Alert can be lifted.
This means Lake Lyell is now suitable for activities that involve direct contact with the water by humans or pets and livestock. Caution is advised as there is still algae present but not at high levels.
Fortnightly sampling of the Lake will continue and an updated alert status will be reported if the situation changes.
More information on algae alerts is available from the algal information line maintained by the NSW Office of Water, at 1800 999 457 or the Water NSW web page at www.waternsw.com.au.
