Recreational use advisory issued for Eckman Lake August 28
The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has issued a recreational use health advisory for Eckman Lake in Lincoln County due to the presence of cyanotoxins above recreational use values. Drinking water directly from areas of the lake affected by the bloom is considered dangerous, as the toxins cannot be removed by boiling or common filtration methods. Residents drawing in-home water directly from the lake are advised to seek an alternative source for drinking and cooking.
