Signage posted at Round and Lacamas lakes last week after a passerby noticed a blue-green algae bloom. County health officials recommend citizens and their pets stay away from the water until further notice.

UPDATE: As of Oct. 31, the lakes should still be avoided. Clark County has upgraded the concern from an advisory to a warning after test results showed elevated toxin levels last week. Clark County Public Health will be checking the lakes weekly and will notify the public when the algae has dissipated.

Clark County Public Health officials hope to see a lift on the blue-green algae advisory at Camas’ Round and Lacamas lakes by week’s end.
