BLOOMING ALGAE

The increased water testing of Lake Victoria at Princes Park, Maryborough continues to show unsafe levels of blue-green algae, following dryer than usual weather and low water levels.

Direct contact with affected water can cause skin rashes, eye, ear and nose irritation and if swallowed, vomiting or gastro. Seek medical or veterinary advice if you or your pets show symptoms.

Lake water should not be used for drinking, cooking or washing – boiling does not make water safe. Food from the Lake should not be eaten.

Please note that sprinkler systems in the park do not use Lake water. We'll keep the community updated.
