Visual evidence provided by the Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) indicates the presence of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) cells in the Middle Pond of Lake Cochituate are at levels that may exceed MDPH guidelines. Accordingly, MDPH is recommending that a cyanobacteria advisory be issued for Middle Pond and signage be posted at all access points warning against any contact with the water.

MDPH will conduct follow-up sampling once the bloom has dissipated.
