Council is continuing to monitor toxic algae in Awatea Lagoons
Kāpiti Coast District Council is continuing to monitor the toxic algae in Awatea Lagoons.
Last night’s rain washed away some of the growth but there are still some sites where the algae is noticeable.
Council staff assessed the lagoons today and are reminding people to take care when walking their dogs on surrounding pathways and tracks.
When in close contact with this type of blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria Anabaena) it can be fatal towards animals and cause people to be sick.
