Laane’s warning removed
After 79 days Laanecoorie Reservoir's blue-green algae warning has been removed.
Goulburn-Murray Water (GMW) has removed the blue-green algae warning at Laanecoorie Reservoir following a significant decline in algae levels.

GMW water quality coordinator Bianca Atley said GMW would keep testing for further changes to blue-green algae levels at its storages.
“We will continue undertaking water quality monitoring and if blue-green algae reach levels deemed unsafe by national health guidelines, a warning will be issued,” she said.
