Blue-green algae in lakes can result in a buildup of toxins. While activities near the water, such as picnicking, biking, and hiking, are safe. take the following precautions for your safety.

• Body contact with water is never permitted. Keep children away from the water and the shoreline. Use tap water to rinse any skin that has contacted lake water.

• Keep pets, especially dogs, out of the water. They should neither enter nor drink the water.

• Fish caught here may be consumed after you throw away the intestinal tract and liver, and rinse filets with tap water.

Lafayette Reservoir is a recreational reservoir; it is not used for drinking but serves as an emergency supply.
