(KNZA)---A public health advisory has issued for the Sabetha City Lake due to the presence of blue-green algae.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment, in conjunction with the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks, announced Friday that the Lake located in Nemaha County has been placed under " watch " status.
A public health advisory also continues for Atchison City Lake #9 in Atchison County due to blue-green algae. That advisory was issued earlier this month.
For lakes under " watch" status, KDHE says people are encouraged to avoid areas of algae accumulation and keep pets away from the water. Boating and fishing are safe. However, you should clean fish well with potable water and eat the fillet portion only
