Lake Travis Algae Update
The latest update from the LCRA showed no detection of cyanotoxins in 16 sites tested on portions of the Highland Lakes, including Lake Travis. Tests have not shown toxicity in algae in the lakes since June, when small amounts of cyanotoxins were determined to be present. LCRA began testing lake water earlier this year, including at City Park for signs of the toxins following dogs getting sick around lake water in the Hudson Bend area. While no signs of the toxins are currently being detected, LCRA still encourages pet owners to be cautious on area lakes. CLICK HERE for more details.
