Disappearance of blue-green algae reiterated
The Otago Regional Council (ORC) is reassuring the public that three locations which earlier contained a potentially toxic blue-green algae are now safe to visit.
ORC issued warnings to the public in December to keep their distance from Lake Waihola, the Tomahawk lagoon, and the Taieri River at Henley because of the presence of the algae.
ORC manager resource science Matt Hickey today reiterated that water sampling at the three locations last week confirmed that the blue-green algae had dissipated, reducing the potential risk to people and animals of illness through contact with the algae.
