Kansas Department of Health and Environment test results from Milford Lake samples taken this past Tuesday indicate lower levels of blue green algae cells lakewide in all zones.

But the Corps of Engineers said the following status will be in effect until next week’s results are available.

–Zone A ( sound of Milford Lake ) – watch

–Zone B ( middle portion )  – remains in a warning

–Zone C ( north end ) – remains in a warning

Designated beaches operated by the Corps of Engineers and Milford State Park will be open.

In a warning direct water contact is discouraged such as jet skiing and swimming, but boating and fishing are permitted.

The Corps said as a reminder, blue green algae may be spotty and move as the wind shifts. Boaters should use cautiuon and move to a clear portion of the lake.
