People are being warned to avoid Beaver Lake after water samples tested positive for blue-green algae.
The CRD says the positive samples were taken from Beaver Beach, and any animals around Beaver Lake should be kept on a leash to prevent them from drinking or swimming in the lake. Ingesting water containing blue-green algae can cause headaches and stomach pain in humans, and lethal liver damage in dogs. There are currently no signs of blue-green algae at neighbouring Elk Lake, but monitoring will continue at both lakes.
