Virginia Lake and Ford Lake under health advisories due to harmful algal blooms (HABs), warning against contact with water and consuming fish.
Virginia Lake in Reno and Ford Lake in Ypsilanti are under health advisories due to harmful algal blooms (HABs). In Reno, the city warns against contact with Virginia Lake's water for two months due to potential cyanotoxins. In Ypsilanti, microcystin toxin levels exceed EPA limits, prompting similar warnings to avoid contact and a "Do Not Eat Fish" advisory. Both advisories highlight risks to humans and pets from ingestion or contact with contaminated water.
