Council is aware of the deteriorating condition of water quality at the Cascade Lake in Mawson Lakes, showing discolouration and emission of odours.
Council undertakes regular water quality monitoring of the lakes in Mawson Lakes. Samples have been taken this week to assess the water quality.
Whilst these conditions could be attributed to the hot weather, as a precautionary measure Council is installing signage around the lake advising the residents to avoid contact, including their pets. At this stage, there has been no identified public health risk and we are continuing to investigate and monitor the situation.
Council is working toward rectifying the matter and will be implementing appropriate treatments as required and continuing to undertake the water quality monitoring to assess the lake condition.
