The warning signs posted at the lake are being removed. However, harmful algal blooms may return as conditions change
VANCOUVER – Clark County Public Health has lifted its advisory at Lacamas Lake. The bloom of cyanobacteria at the lake dissipated and is no longer present.
The warning signs posted at the lake are being removed. However, harmful algal blooms may return as conditions change. Public Health encourages people swimming and recreating in the lake to watch for floating scum and avoid direct contact with water in those areas.
The warning advisory at Round Lake in Camas remains in place. Results from water samples taken from Round Lake on Monday, Aug. 19 indicate toxin levels are decreasing. If toxin levels continue to decrease, the warning advisory will be lifted. Public Health issued a warning advisory at Vancouver Lake earlier today due to elevated toxin levels. Public Health will continue to monitor the blooms at Round and Vancouver lakes and take weekly water samples to test toxin levels.
The public can report algal blooms on the Public Health website. Information about swim beach monitoring and advisories are available on the Public Health website.
