(KNZA)--A local lake no longer remains under a health advisory due to blue-green algae.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment, in conjunction with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, announced Thursday that the advisory for the Brown State Fishing Lake, northeast of Robinson, has been lifted.
The lake had been under " watch" status since July, and at one point was placed under “warning" status.
Four lakes in the state remain under watch status--including Milford Lake.
For lakes on the watch list, KDHE says people should avoid areas of algae accumulation and keep pets and livestock away from the water.
