AHS lifts water advisory at Buffalo Lake
A water quality advisory for Buffalo Lake at Rochon Sands has been rescinded, AHS said Thursday.
The advisory was issued July 31 due to elevated levels of fecal bacteria.
“Water quality has returned to an acceptable level and the health risk is low for usage of the beach for recreational purposes,” a release states. “As always, visitors and residents are reminded to never drink or cook with untreated water directly from any lake or reservoir, at any time.”
Alberta Health Services also issued an identical water advisory on July 31 for Gull Lake at Aspen Beach. It remains in effect.
