Goulburn-Murray Water has removed the blue-green algae warning for Lake Eildon following a significant decline in algae levels.
G-MW announced the blue-green algae warning for Lake Eildon on April 21. It remained in place for 88 days.
G-MW will continue to undertake water quality monitoring and if blue‑green algae reach levels deemed unsafe by national health guidelines, a warning will be issued.
The removal of this warning — along with the ones at Newlyn Reservoir and Hepburn Lagoon, both between Daylesford and Ballarat — means there are currently no blue-green algae warnings in place at any G-MW storages.
To keep up to date with current blue-green algae warnings phone 1800 013 357 and select the BGA information option, or visit the Blue-Green Algae page on the G-MW website at: www.g-water.com.au/news/bga
Customers are reminded water supplied by G-MW is not suitable for human consumption without first being properly treated.
