The Corps of Engineers at Milford Lake have announced that the Kansas Department of Health & Environment (KDHE) results from lake samples taken on Monday, July 16th have been received.

Lake Zones A and C will remain in a warning status due to elevated blue green algae cell counts. Zone B will be in a watch status as the blue green algae cell count number is down.

A “Warning” indicates that blue green algae is present at a level considered unsafe for people and animals. Contact with lake water should be avoided.

The designated swim beaches located in Zone A at the Corps of Engineers and Milford State Park will remain closed until the warning status is lifted. This does not prohibit swimming in other parts of the lake; lake goers are reminded to use caution.

Lake users are reminded that blue green algae may appear or disappear suddenly and move as the wind shifts; boaters should use caution and move to a clear portion of the lake.
