Interior Health has issued a warning notice due to an algal bloom found in an area of Shuswap Lake. Health officials monitor an algal bloom in Shuswap Lake. According to a joint statement from the First Nations Health Authority, Internal Health and the City of Salmon Arm, the algal bloom is located on the Salmon Arm Pier and in the Tappen Bay area of the lake. Interior Health issued a warning notice and advised residents and visitors to avoid direct contact with the algal bloom. The advisory includes SunnyBrae, Canoe Beach and Herald Provincial Park. “If there is contact, rinse your body with clean water. Recreational activities, such as swimming, are discouraged in areas where there is a bloom,” the statement said. The health authority said people should not consume drinking water that comes directly from the lake and should consider providing pets and livestock with an alternative source of drinking water. “If the intake source of water is from the Salmon Arm Dock and Tappen area of Shuswap Lake, consider using an alternative source for drinking water. Contact your water supplier for more information,” the statement said. According to Interior Health, cyanobacteria, or blue green algae, can produce several types of toxins that can be poisonous to humans, pets, or animals. A warning advisory means there is an algal bloom in an area, but tests have not detected toxins.
