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.
