The summer’s high heat and drought conditions caused abnormal toxic levels of blue-green algae in many bodies of water across Kansas.

Cooler temperatures are helping to resolve the problem.  The Logan City Lake in Phillips County has just been removed from the warning list by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

Only one lake, Memorial Park Lake at Great Bend, remains a danger.

Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism District Fisheries Biologist Dave Spalsbury says Cedar Bluff Reservoir in Trego County had minor issues with the toxin.

Algae blooms are more detrimental to small bodies of water, according to Spalsbury,  because the toxin robs the water of  oxygen, thus killing whatever fish species live there.
