Alberta Health Services has announced it has lifted the blue-green-algae advisory for the Twin Valley Reservoir.
On Nov. 2, they issued a release stating recent weather has cooled lake and reservoir water temperatures to such an extent that cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, is no longer a health concern, including in three bodies of water in the Calgary Zone, which had previously been placed under cyanobacteria advisories.
Effective immediately, Alberta Health Services has lifted the cyanobacteria advisories for Eagle Lake; Severn Dam Reservoir; and Twin Valley Reservoir.
As always, Alberta Health Services reminds visitors and residents to never drink or cook with untreated water directly from any recreational body of water, at any time.
