Blue-Green Algae Advisory Lifted for Eagle Lake
Alberta Health Services (AHS) has officially lifted the blue-green algae advisory for Eagle Lake, located southeast of Strathmore, as of Wednesday. The update follows a drop in temperatures that cooled the lake and significantly reduced the health risks associated with cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae.
Eagle Lake, situated in Wheatland County about a 45-minute drive east of Calgary, had been under an advisory warning the public to avoid any contact with the algae. The advisory also recommended not using untreated lake water for consumption or food preparation.
AHS stated that boiling lake water does not remove harmful toxins and advised residents to rely on other safe water sources for people, pets, and livestock whenever algae may be present.
