Health advisory lifted for local lake
08/14/2020

(KNZA)--A public health advisory has been lifted for a local northeast Kansas lake.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment, in a news release Thursday, said Horton's Mission Lake is no longer under a health watch due to blue-green algae.

However, another local lake remains under “ watch” status---the Brown State Fishing Lake, northeast of Robinson.

For lakes under watch status, KDHE says people are encouraged to avoid areas of algae accumulation and keep pets and livestock away from the water.

You should clean fish well with potable water and eat the fillet portion only.
