(KNZA)---A public health advisory has issued for the Pony Creek 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 about two miles north of Sabetha in Brown County, has been placed under "watch " status.
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
