Griffith City Council wishes to advise that Lake Wyangan (North) is now on Red Alert.
The most recent sample taken on 6 January 2025, was 15.3619mm3/L, which is considered a Red Alert.
A Red Alert level warning indicates that people should not undertake recreational activities where they may be coming into direct contact with the water such as swimming, as well as domestic uses including showering and washing. Contact with the water may also pose a threat to livestock and pets.
Warning signs are positioned at key recreational areas and will remain in place while high levels of blue-green algae are present.
People are advised not to enter the water, drink untreated water or bathe in water drawn from the Lake while this Red Alert level warning is in place.
Before consumption, any fish caught should be cleaned and washed thoroughly in uncontaminated water and any internal organs disposed of appropriately.
The Red Alert warning will be in place until further notice. Council will monitor the level of Blue Green Algae on a regular basis and provide updates to the public and via the website: www.griffith.nsw.gov.au/Visitors/Parks-and-gardens/Lake-Wyangan/Lake-Wyangan-Water-Quality
