Alberta Health Services has issued a blue-green algae bloom health advisory for 𝗦𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗲. Please take the following precautions:
- Avoid all contact with blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) blooms. If contact occurs, wash with tap water as soon as possible.
- Do not swim or wade (or allow your pets to swim or wade) in any areas where blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) is visible.
- Do not eat whole fish and trimmings as fish may store toxins in their liver. Fish fillets contain less toxins and are safer to eat.
- Do not drink or cook with water from this lake.
Persons experiencing illness after having contact with lake water are advised to call Health Link at 811.
