The Otago Regional Council has lifted a health warning which had been in place at Lake Waihola because of earlier levels of blue-green algae, which had previously been of concern.
Council resource science manager Dr Dean Olsen said three consecutive samples of water taken from the lake had since confirmed cyanobacteria levels were low enough to warrant the warning being lifted.
Warning signs were being removed from the lake shore.
The council would continue to monitor the lake until the end of March.
