Willis Lake Closer to Being Deemed 'Safe'

Last week, authorities found once again that harmful green algae existed in Willis Lake, warning residents to keep themselves and pets out of the water.

On Wednesday, town officials announced that the Department of Public Health revealed that those cyanobacteria counts were back down again, and below guidelines. The advisory, however, will remain in effect until two readings determining the levels are safe take place. That second testing takes place on Monday, Sept. 21.
