The Capital Regional District (CRD) advises that water samples taken from both Elk Lake and Beaver Lake have tested positive for blue-green algae and associated cyanobacteria.

In a press release issued earlier this week, the CRD advises residents to: 

• avoid Elk and Beaver Lakes
• prevent pets from drinking the water
• prevent pets from swimming in the water

The CRD is continuing to test the water and will post updates via www.crd.bc.ca/parks and Twitter @crd_bc.
