(KNZA)--Perry Lake in Jefferson County is no longer under a public health advisory due to blue-green algae.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment, in a news release Thursday, said the advisory has been lifted.
Two lakes in Brown County remain on the “ watch” list. They include Horton's Mission Lake and the Brown State Fishing Lake, located northeast of Robinson.
For lakes on the “ watch” list, people are encouraged to avoid areas of algae accumulation and keep pets and livestock away from the water.
KDHE says boating and fishing are safe, but you should avoid direct contact with the water.
You should clean fish well with potable water and eat the fillet portion only.
