Southwest District Health, in conjunction with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), has lifted the Health Advisory for Lake Lowell.

The advisory was issued August 25, when DEQ officials began monitoring blue-green algae and associated toxins from harmful algal blooms.

They have now confirmed that blue-green algae levels in Lake Lowell have returned to normal and toxin levels are below the safety threshold.

Southwest District Health also says thru a release, the E. coli advisory issued back in September remains in effect.
