Blue-green algae with toxins were found in Lake Apsey, Espanola’s water source, but tap water remains safe due to treatment.
Blue-green algae, including a toxin-producing species, have been found in Lake Apsey, Espanola’s main water source, according to Public Health Sudbury and Districts.
Testing on November 24 confirmed cyanobacteria presence, though the town’s water treatment plant removes toxins, keeping tap water safe.
Residents are advised to avoid water with visible green, pea-soup-like blooms due to risks of skin irritation, stomach issues, and liver or nerve damage.
Toxins can spread through the lake, and boiling water or using bleach may release more toxins.
Standard filters may not remove them.
Fish from the lake should be handled carefully, especially organs.
Those using surface water for private supplies should find alternate sources until the bloom ends.
