Beach and lake users should still be on the lookout for cyanobacteria scum. If you notice anything resembling cyanobacteria, please refrain from wading, swimming, or drinking the water.

8/20/09 - Update...

This morning there was a slight breeze coming onshore and we have 20 feet of algae in front of our house on Wadleigh Point.  Check out the pictures below.  Yesterday we saw nothing and today we are in full bloom.  Be careful.

8/18/09 - A Cyanobacteria Warning has been issued for the beach at Kingston State Park. 

An advisory has been issued due to a bloom of possible toxin-producing cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). The advisory will remain in effect until subsequent samples of algae show that levels of cyanobacteria have diminished below 50% of all algae present. Lake users should avoid contact with the water in areas experiencing cyanobacteria bloom conditions. This advisory is not based on a toxin evaluation and is intended as a precautionary measure for short term exposure. If you notice anything resembling cyanobacteria, please refrain from wading, swimming, or drinking the water and keep all pets out of the water.
