Eildon all clear

Goulburn-Murray Water (GMW) removed the blue-green algae warning at Lake Eildon on Monday following a significant decline in algae levels.

The warning for Lake Eildon was issued on Monday, 9 December and remained in place for 60 days.

GMW water quality coordinator Bianca Atley said GMW would keep testing for further changes to blue-green algae levels.

“We will continue undertaking water quality monitoring and if blue-green algae reach levels deemed unsafe by national health guidelines, a warning will be issued,” Ms Atley said.

People can stay up to date with current blue-green algae warnings on the GMW website at www.gmwater.com.au/news/bga or by phoning 1800 013 357 and selecting the blue-green algae information option.

Customers are reminded that water supplied by GMW is not suitable for human consumption without first being properly treated.
