Blue-green algae advisories lifted for five Calgary Zone bodies of water.

November 8, 2013

CALGARY - Recent weather has cooled water temperatures in lakes to such an extent that blue-green algae is no longer a concern, including in the waters of five Calgary Zone lakes/reservoirs, which had previously been placed under blue-green algae advisory.

As such, effective immediately, Alberta Health Services has lifted the blue-green algae advisories for:

* Turner Valley Reservoir
* Travers Reservoir
* Cochrane Lake
* Severn Lake
* Eagle Lake

Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than 3.9 million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.
