HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two area lakes remain under advisories for blue-green algae.
Both Marion County Lake and Marion Reservoir are now under algae warnings, which means all contact with the water should be avoided. All livestock and pets should be kept away from the water. The two lakes have been under the advisories for a month and, with the hot summer-type weather, no relief is in sight for the two popular lakes.
Visitors may fish at the lakes, but only the fillet portion should be consumed. The KDHE issues the algae advisories every Thursday during the summer months. No other lakes in the area are under any advisory at this time.
