(KNZA)--Public health warnings continue for two local lakes due to the presence of toxic blue-green algae.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment says the Hiawatha City Lake and Brown State Fishing Lake are among 14 in the state under “warning” status.
KDHE says while activities like boating and fishing may be safe, direct contact with the water is strongly discouraged for people, pets and livestock.
Fish can be eaten as long as they are rinsed with clean water. However, you should consume only the fillet portion and discard all other parts.
