Update: potential blue-green algae bloom

Update on potential blue-green algae bloom reported at Williams Lake dam

Not surprisingly, the water level in Williams Lake has risen 40 cm since Friday morning and is now 22 cm above the top of the dam and may still be rising. Lawson Creek has overflowed its banks but the path into the dam was still above the level of the overflow water this morning.

Also, the blue-green algae bloom seen last Thursday morning at the dam end of the lake had dissipated by Friday morning before the monsoon hit, and by now would presumably be even further dispersed/diluted by the rain.
