Post by: Editor on May 09, 2014, 09:33:55 PM

Lake Baroon temporarily closed to all water-based activities 
 Date:  09/05/2014   - Seqwater

As at Friday 9 May, Lake Baroon remains closed to all water-based recreation activities due to ongoing water quality issues (blue-green algae). You may notice that the water has a distinctive green colour. 

Please note there are no increased risks to users of the land-based recreational areas. Seqwater will continue to perform water quality testing at Lake Baroon, and the lake will be reopened as soon as possible.

Signage has been erected on-site advising of the temporary closure. 

For further information please see the Seqwater blue-green algae fact sheet (http://www.previous.seqwater.com.au/sites/default/files/PDF%20Documents/Publications/Blue-green%20algae%20fact%20sheet%20Oct2011.pdf).

5 months temporary? At least the fish are having a rest.
 Cheers
