Lake Baroon temporarily closed to swimming and in water activities

Date:
    15/02/2016

Lake Baroon is temporarily closed to swimming and in water activities form Monday 15 February 2016 due to the detection of blue-green algae.

Lake Baroon currently remains open to on water activities such as paddling and boating.

Blue-green algae blooms generally occur in the warmer months due to increased water temperature, abundant nutrients and optimal light conditions.

Seqwater is closely monitoring algae levels and will re-open the lake when water quality results indicate it is appropriate to do so.

For more information, download our fact sheet on blue-green algae at www.seqwater.com.au/about/publications/fact-sheets (http://www.seqwater.com.au/about/publications/fact-sheets).

 Borumba,Dwyer and Claredon also still closed.
