Based on recent lab results from lake water sampling, the City of Lake Elsinore is announcing that current levels of toxins from algae warrant a caution advisory at this time. People are advised to avoid scum, to not drink lake water, and to continue to keep pets out of the water.
The City will continue to test the water on a weekly or bi-weekly basis at this time and will post regular updates on the lake conditions as lab results are received.
