Goulburn-Murray Water has removed the blue-green algae warning at Lake Eildon following a significant decline in algae levels.
The warning for Lake Eildon was issued on December 9, and remained in place for 60 days.
G-MW water quality coordinator Bianca Atley said G-MW would keep testing for further changes to blue-green algae levels.
“We will continue undertaking water quality monitoring and if blue-green algae reach levels deemed unsafe by national health guidelines, a warning will be issued,” she said.
