DUNCAN —
The city of Duncan is discouraging all contact with the water at Clear Creek Lake after a reported case of blue-green algae.
City Manager Jim Frieda said lakes superintendent Rusty Smith had been contacted by a citizen who believes her grandchild is sick as a result of contact with the blue-green algae.
The Red Flag alert system sent out a warning at 3:22 p.m. today, informing residents through text message and phone calls.
“Since it was reported, we are posting signs and discouraging swimming and notifying the proper authorities,” Frieda said. “We sent the message out as it would be much quicker to get the word out.”
Swimming and any contact with the water is discouraged at the moment. Boating is allowed but residents and visitors should be cautious of contact with the water.
More information will be available in Wednesday’s edition of The Banner.
