Advisory for Twin Lakes, Ontario



[Return to Ontario | Return to province list]

Twin Lakes

Type: Cyanobacteria Bloom  -  Inactive

Issued: 8/22/2016

Details:

Algoma Public Health is advising residents and visitors of a confirmed blue-green algae bloom (cyanobacteria) on Twin Lakes in Hilton Township on St. Joseph's Island. As a precautionary measure, Algoma Public Health recommends that residents: • Not drink, swim in, bathe, or shower with the water, even water that passes through a treatment system since these systems are not capable of removing the toxins. • Not use bleach to treat water as this can release toxins from the algae and will not make the water safe for drinking or cooking. • Not eat fish caught during a blue-green algae bloom. • Avoid activities involving direct contact with the water such as swimming and water skiing. • Use alternative water sources such as bottled water or water obtained from a safe water supply. • Restrict pet and livestock access to the water
