Clark County Community Services’ staff developed a survey to collect this information.

Clark County Public Health has lifted its algae advisory at Round Lake in Camas. Water samples collected from the lake show water quality has improved over the last two weeks and toxin levels are no longer elevated.

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. Pets should not drink or have contact with water in areas of floating scum.

All comments are welcomed and encouraged regarding the draft Clark County 2024 Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) and substantial amendments to the 2023 Annual Action Plan. The CAPER details the accomplishments that were completed between July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, through funding received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Substantial amendments to the 2023 Annual Action Plan describe changes in the use of HOME Investment Partnerships program funds. 

Due to the extreme fire danger, recreational fires will be prohibited throughout unincorporated Clark County effective immediately.
