Public Health issued the danger advisory at Vancouver Lake on July 23 due to widespread harmful algal blooms producing elevated levels of cyanotoxins
VANCOUVER – Clark County Public Health has lifted the danger advisory at Vancouver Lake. The harmful algal blooms at the lake have dissipated, and water samples collected from the lake show toxin levels are no longer elevated.
The danger signs posted at the lake are being removed. However, harmful algal blooms may return if lake conditions change. Public Health encourages people recreating in local lakes to watch for floating scum and avoid direct contact with water in those areas.
Public Health issued the danger advisory at Vancouver Lake on July 23 due to widespread harmful algal blooms producing elevated levels of cyanotoxins. Public Health will continue to monitor Vancouver Lake and will collect water samples for testing if an algal bloom is present.
The latest information about advisories is available on the Public Health website.
