๐ŸšฆBased on cyanobacteria cell concentrations in samples collected from the lake on September 29, 2026, and other related water quality data, the risk to the public from cyanobacteria / harmful algal blooms was MODERATE.

Cyanobacteria cell concentrations at two of the three sites sampled, and the lake averages were consistent with the Stateโ€™s Visual Rank Category 2 conditions, i.e., moderate public health risk. Other surrogate measures of cyanobacteria productivity indicate increased growth over the last several weeks.

WHAT THIS MEANS: the public should exercise caution, be aware of changing conditions (e.g., localized bloom formation), and avoid contact with blooms if they are observed.
