(KNZA)--A public health advisory has been issued for an additional Atchison County Lake due to the presence of blue-green algae.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP), in a release Friday announced that Warnock Lake has been placed under " watch" status.
The release says two other Atchison County lakes---Atchison City Lake #9 and the Atchison State Fishing Lake, remain under " warning" status. The two lakes were placed under " warning" status June 6.
For lakes under " watch" status, KDHE recommends people avoid areas of algae accumulation and keep pets away from the water.
You should clean fish well with potable water and eat the fillet portion only.
For lakes under " warning" status, direct contact with the water should be avoided.
Fish may be eaten if they are rinsed with clean water. Only the fillet portion should be consumed, and all other parts discarded
