Hi PLA Community,

Not surprisingly, the Cyanobacteria Advisory will remain in effect.  The notification from NH DES is below.

The PLA

Hi Everyone,

Province Lake was resampled today, 23 August 2023. Unfortunately, the cyanobacteria density continues to exceed the state limit of 70,000 cell/mL, so the advisory will remain active. Samples ranged from 350,800 – 2,800, however out of the six samples four were above the advisory level. Please keep signs posted at public access points. NHDES will arrange for sampling again next week. If people ask for updates on the current cyanobacteria advisory status, please direct them to the Healthy Swimming Mapper. If you click on the advisory symbol, you can see our most recent sampling date. When advisories are lifted, the red symbol for the waterbody will no longer be on the map.  

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 through this form 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,
