The Province of Manitoba has issued the following advisories for the Plum Coulee Sunset Beach:

ALGAE ADVISORY

(Until the end of the swimming season)

If large amounts of green scum are visible in the water, please take the following precautions:

• Avoid swimming or contact with the water.

• Do not drink the water (boiling or chlorination will NOT make the water safe).

• Prevent pets or livestock from drinking the water along the shoreline, as this could be fatal to animals.

• Do not eat fish from this lake that appear unhealthy.

Blue-green algae, which can cause illnesses such as diarrhea, stomach cramps, and eye and skin irritations, have been found at this beach in the past.
