Water quality advisory issued for beach in Pigeon Lake

Alberta Health Services is asking people not to swim at Pigeon Lake's Zeiner Park Beach due to "elevated levels of fecal bacteria."

Ingesting water could cause gastrointestinal illness and coming into contact with it could result in skin, ear or eye infections.

The advisory is in effect until further notice, AHS said.

Earlier this week, AHS said blue-green algae was also found in Pigeon Lake.
