Lake County Public Health is providing more information regarding an urgent advisory issued about drinking water taken from Clear Lake. The advisory was for people on private water systems whose tap water comes from their own private intake into the lake, in the Oaks Arm and Lower Arm of Clear Lake due to very high levels of Cyanotoxin. This advisory does not apply to public or large privately-owned and professionally managed water systems using Clear Lake as a raw water source.
Lake County Special Districts says those systems, have multifaceted treatment processes in place to effectively treat for cyanotoxins and provide safe water for consumption and use.
