Hi All,
The Warning for Province Lake has been lifted. See official notice below. The signs will be coming down shortly. However, as we all know, blooms can come and go quickly, so please keep your eyes open. Have a great weekend.

Hi All,
The cyanobacteria warning at your lake has been removed, please see below for details.
| Waterbody | Province Lake, Effingham and Wakefield |
| Status | WARNING REMOVED |
| Issued | 8/2/2024 |
| Removed | 8/9/2024 |
| Notes | Four samples were reviewed, three from Bonnyman Rd, and one from Sunset Rd. All had densities ranging from 6,867 – 11,200 cells/mL Dolichospermum. The rain may have suppressed densities, but community members reported that water conditions had improved from last week. Please let us know if bloom conditions appear again next week. |
While the bloom accumulation has dissipated, NHDES advises that lake-goers look out for discoloration or surface accumulations in the future. Please continue to monitor your individual shoreline for changing conditions.
The cyanobacteria warning signs can now be removed from public access points.
Thank you all for your communication. If you see cyanobacteria in the future, please report it through the bloom report form.
Please forward this email to other residents / community members who need this information. If they would like to be added to the email distribution list, please have them sign up to be directly included on future communications from NHDES. If you prefer to no longer receive these sampling updates, simply respond, and indicate “unsubscribe”.
Best,
