WARNING!!!!!
We have identified Blue Green Algae at several locations around the Shores. This algae is fluorescent green in color. This is a natural occurring event when conditions are right. This occurs when residential lawn fertilizers, agricultural runoff and stormwater runoff is followed by hot humid days and still water.
Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) can be highly harmful, producing potent toxins that attack the liver, kidneys, and nervous system. Exposure—whether through swallowing contaminated water, skin contact, or inhaling airborne mist—can cause severe rashes, respiratory distress, and intense gastrointestinal illness. It is especially lethal to pets and livestock.
Maintenance will be out spraying today and tomorrow. Please avoid contact.
