Potential blue-green algae identified at Briarwood Pond: residents advised to avoid water use.
July 29, 2024 - 4:15pm
- Symptoms: Contact with or ingestion of blue-green algae toxins can cause symptoms such as skin irritation, nausea, vomiting, and respiratory distress.
- Emergency: If you or your pets experience any symptoms after contact with the water, seek medical or veterinary attention immediately.
During routine monitoring of storm water ponds, the City of Saskatoon has identified a potential blue-green algae bloom at Briarwood Pond in Briarwood. Blue-green algae, also known as Cyanobacteria, is a bacteria that can be harmful to humans and animals.
Out of an abundance of caution, all recreational water activities are strictly prohibited until further notice. Signage is being produced and will be placed around the pond to inform visitors of potential dangers.
Residents with pets also are advised to completely avoid the pond. When ingested, water with blue-green algae can cause sickness and/or death in animals depending on the level of toxicity.
Health Precautions:
Water samples will be collected and tested this week. The City will provide updates as they become available. Your cooperation in adhering to these safety measures is greatly appreciated.
Visit Health Canada to learn about the risks of cyanobacteria and their toxins, and how to keep yourself safe.
