The northern two zones of Milford Lake, Zones B and C, are under a blue green algae warning, while Zone A is clear.

RJ Harms, Corps of Engineers Project Manager at Milford Lake confirmed Thursday that the test results from Monday showed that the cell counts in Zone C remained above the “warning” level and had increased above the “watch” level and into the “warning” status level in Zone B.

“The good news is Zone A cleared up pretty well. Samples taken at the Milford State Park beach and the East Rolling Hills beach area both came back under the watch level, so Zone A is now considered clear,” said Harms.

New warning signs will be placed at the boat ramps and beachs in Zone B and the signs and baricades will be removed in Zone A.

With the “Warning” status body contact with the water (swimming, skiing, tubing, jet skis) will be strongly discouraged but wording on the signs provided for 2015 will not prohibit the activity.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment will be taking samples at the lake again on Monday.
