Please note a potential bloom has been noted in the outlet and Bonny Hoyt-Hallet has notified the Department of Environment and Local Government.
Please take appropriate precautions and avoid water in that area.
For those drawing water from the lake, an alternative source is recommended as lake water should not be used for bathing or cooking until the area is clear.
We will update with more information when it is available.
Please refer to the government website on algae blooms / Cyanobacteria for more information.
We have attached some pictures from the outlet, click the button below to view them.
