(KNZA)---The Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks have lifted a public health advisory for Pony Creek Lake in Brown County.
That word came in a press release Friday.
The lake had been placed under " watch" status May 23 due to the presence of blue-green algae.
The release says advisories are lifted when cell densities and toxin concentrations dissipate to levels below the Watch thresholds.
KDHE investigates publicly accessible bodies of water for blue-green algae when the agency receives reports of potential algae blooms. Based on credible field observation and sampling results, the agency reports on potentially harmful conditions.
