It is now safe to swim in Llangorse Lake after blue-green algae outbreak
7:00am Saturday 28th July 2012 in Hay-on-Wye
THE ban on fishing, sailing and swimming in Llangorse Lake has been lifted a month after potentially toxic blue-green algae was found.
Powys County Council's Environmental Health Service will continue to monitor the water of the lake near Brecon, but has lifted its guidance so recreational activities can now resume on the lake.
