State Advisory Issued for Lake Pillsbury Due to Harmful Algal Bloom

LAKE COUNTY, CA (September 1, 2026) – Lake County Health Services is notifying residents and visitors of a DANGER advisory recommended by the California State Water Resources Control Board for Lake Pillsbury following State testing that identified elevated levels of cyanobacteria and associated toxins consistent with a harmful algal bloom.
Based on the State’s findings and guidance, people and pets are advised to stay out of the water at Lake Pillsbury until further notice.
As part of a pre-Labor Day assessment, State Water Resources Control Board staff collected a water sample at Lake Pillsbury Resort on August 24, 2026. According to results provided to Lake County Health Services, the sample contained high concentrations of cyanobacteria. Testing also detected microcystins/nodularins at 23.84 micrograms per liter (µg/L), exceeding the State’s threshold for a DANGER advisory.
State staff also reported observing visible cyanobacterial blooms at Lake Pillsbury Resort and Pine Point. Recent satellite imagery has indicated cyanobacteria at multiple locations throughout the lake.
In accordance with the State’s recommendation, the public should:
• Stay out of the water and keep children and pets out of the water.
• Avoid contact with algae, scum, foam, or discolored water.
• Do not allow pets to drink lake water or eat algae or material along the shoreline.
• Do not drink untreated lake water or use it for cooking. Boiling does not remove cyanotoxins and may concentrate them.
Follow all posted DANGER signs and State recreational water guidance.
Lake County Health Services is sharing this information to ensure the public is aware of the State’s findings and recommended precautions ahead of the Labor Day holiday. DANGER advisory signs are expected to be posted at appropriate locations around the lake, and the State Water Board will be notifying appropriate drinking water officials due to a drinking water intake near the sampling location.

Aviso estatal emitido para el lago Pillsbury debido a una floración de algas dañinas

CONDADO DE LAKE, CA (1 de septiembre de 2026) – Los Servicios de Salud del Condado de Lake notifican a residentes y visitantes sobre un aviso de PELIGRO recomendado por la Junta de Control de Recursos Hídricos del Estado de California para Lake Pillsbury tras pruebas estatales que identificaron niveles elevados de cianobacterias y toxinas asociadas compatibles con una floración de algas dañinas.
Según las conclusiones y directrices del Estado, se recomienda a personas y mascotas que permanezcan fuera del agua en el lago Pillsbury hasta nuevo aviso.
Como parte de una evaluación previa al Día del Trabajo, el personal de la Junta Estatal de Control de Recursos Hídricos recogió una muestra de agua en Lake Pillsbury Resort el 24 de agosto de 2026. Según los resultados proporcionados a los Servicios de Salud del Condado de Lake, la muestra contenía altas concentraciones de cianobacterias. Las pruebas también detectaron microcistinas/nodularinas a 23,84 microgramos por litro (μg/L), superando el umbral estatal para una advertencia de PELIGRO.
El personal estatal también informó de la observación de floraciones cianobacterianas visibles en Lake Pillsbury Resort y Pine Point. Imágenes satelitales recientes han indicado cianobacterias en múltiples ubicaciones del lago.
De acuerdo con la recomendación del Estado, el público debe:
• Mantenerse fuera del agua y mantener a los niños y mascotas fuera del agua.
• Evite el contacto con algas, escoria, espuma o agua descolorida.
• No permita que las mascotas beban agua del lago ni coman algas o materiales a lo largo de la orilla.
• No beba agua del lago sin tratar ni la utilice para cocinar. Hervir no elimina las cianotoxinas y puede concentrarlas.
Sigua todas las señales de PELIGRO publicadas y las directrices estatales sobre agua recreativa.
Los Servicios de Salud del Condado de Lake comparten esta información para asegurar que el público esté al tanto de los hallazgos del Estado y las precauciones recomendadas antes del festivo del Día del Trabajo. Se espera que se coloquen señales de advertencia de PELIGRO en los lugares apropiados alrededor del lago, y la Junta Estatal de Agua notificará a los responsables correspondientes de agua potable debido a una toma de agua potable cerca del lugar de muestreo.
