Just FYI…😎
OHA issued a preemptive recreational use health advisory for Lake Billy Chinook and Lake Simtustus, due to the presence and rapid growth of a cyanobacteria harmful algal bloom. The lakes are in Jefferson County.
The decision to issue the preemptive advisory is based on multiple reports from partner agencies and members of the public, and is supported by satellite data showing the extent of the bloom, with day-to-day increases in bloom density. Results of testing in the days to come will either confirm the advisory or allow OHA to lift it.
Remember, “When in doubt, stay out!”
