HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A small fishing lake at Wheatland Park in Buhler is off the latest list of lakes infested with toxic algae. The Buhler City Lake was removed from the list by the KDH&E.
Still the lakes available for local boating and swimming are getting slim. Cheney Reservoir is under a watch for algae in certain areas of the lake. Marion Reservoir and Marion County Lake are under algae warnings along with Harvey County East Lake and Lake Afton near Goddard.
All contact with the water should be avoided in those areas. The blue green algae is toxic to animals and can cause health problems in humans.
