Water danger advisory issued at Round Lake in Camas

Clark County Public Health has issued a danger advisory for Round Lake in Camas after test results revealed elevated levels of cyanotoxins in the water due to a harmful algal bloom. The lake currently has little to no visible scum accumulation, however, toxin levels exceed thresholds recommended by Washington Department of Health.

“Don’t be deceived by the appearance of clear water at Round Lake. The toxin level is actually quite high, making the water unsafe for people and pets,” said Alyssa Payne, environmental health specialist with Clark County Public Health’s Recreational Water Safety program.
