RED ALERT - LAKE AINSWORTH CLOSED

Blue-green algae slicks and scums are present at Lake Ainsworth. Large clumps of blue-green algae have been observed through the water column. Current advice is to avoid swimming at this time and avoid contact with slicks and scums present on the shore.

Warning signs will be erected advising people not to swim in the Lake, or touch slicks or scums that wash onto the shores.

Council will increase the frequency of blue-green algae sampling and will continue to monitor the situation.

This is until further notice.
