(KNZA)--The Sabetha City Lake is the latest area lake to be placed under a public health warning due to high levels of toxic blue-green algae.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment said the lake is among eleven under a warning status in the state.
Two other area lakes--the Brown County State Fishing Lake and Nemaha State Fishing Lake--also remain on the list.
KDHE says 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.
