Slightly improved conditions from lake samples collected on Monday July 27th at Milford Lake has allowed the KDHE to downgrade the blue green algae “Warning” status for Zone A to a watch, but Zones B and C will remain under a “Warning”.

Under the “Watch” East Rolling Hills Beach and the Milford State Park Beach will be opened. Information signs at the boat ramps will be changed to reflect the “Watch” conditions.

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.  Designated beaches operated by the Corps of Engineers and Milford State Park will remain closed under the “Warning” status but will be opened under a “Watch” level of advisory.”
