(KNZA)--A public health advisory has been issued for two lakes in Atchison County due to the presence of blue-green algae.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment, in conjunction with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, announced Friday that the Atchison State Fishing Lake and Atchison City Lake #9 have been placed under "warning" status.
For lakes under “ warning” status, KDHE says direct contact with the water should be avoided.
Fish may be eaten if they are rinsed with clean water. However, only the fillet portion should be consumed and all other parts discarded.
