Please be aware that Manitoba Environment and Climate Change has issued a first level algae advisory for Lake Minnewasta based on test results from July 14. An algae advisory sign is now posted at Colert Beach.

πŸ’‘What does this mean? An algae advisory sign lets swimmers know that blue-green algae or cyanobacteria have exceeded Manitoba's recreational water quality objective for cyanobacterial cell count of 100,000 cells per mL. The sample collected at Lake Minnewasta on July 14 had a count of 106,000 cells per mL.

Test results showed that the toxin microcystin concentration at Lake Minnewasta remains below the recreational water quality objective of 20 ΞΌ/L.
