Green Lake is to remain closed after testing confirmed the lingering presence of blue-green algae, following its initial closure in December. Samples of water from the lake were taken for laboratory testing earlier this month to determine the safety of use of the waterway.
The public are advised that the lake is closed to all water-based activity, and anyone who comes into contact with this water should wash affected skin immediately in clean water.
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.
