ALGAE ALERTS ISSUED FOR BROOKVILLE LAKE BEACHES
(Union and Franklin County, IN)--Two beach alerts are now in place at Brookville Lake due to high levels of blue-green algae. According to the DNR website Wednesday morning, there is a low-risk alert for swimmers at Quakertown Beach. The only recommendation is that swimmers shower after entering the water. Further to the south, the alert level is higher. Mounds Beach now has an advisory-level alert. Showering is recommended and swimmers should try to keep the water out of their mouths. An e-coli alert that had been in effect at Whitewater Memorial State Park is no longer listed. But, there is one other alert at Whitewater…it’s for black vultures. The vultures are picking at anything rubber on vehicles parked at the lake. That includes window seals and windshield wipers.
