(KNZA)--A public health advisory has been lifted for a lake in Brown County, while another lake in the county remains under an advisory due to the presence of blue-green algae.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment, in conjunction with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, announced Friday that the Brown State Fishing Lake, northeast of Robinson, is no longer on the advisory list.
However, Pony Creek Lake, north of Sabetha, remains under " watch" status.
For lakes under watch status, KDHE says people are encouraged to avoid areas of algae accumulation and keep pets and livestock away from the water. You should clean fish well with potable water and eat the fillet portion only.
