Blue-green algae levels decline in Lake Bartlett

However, residents and water users are encouraged to remain alert, as isolated patches of blue-green algae may still be present in local lakes, waterways and irrigation systems.

Any suspected blooms can be reported to council at 5826 3785.

Council reminds the community that untreated water is not suitable for human use, including drinking, cooking, bathing or washing.

Regular water quality monitoring will continue throughout the year, with updates provided if conditions change.
