Lake Lyell is now showing signs of Blue Green Algae with an amber alert being put in place in the latest results published by the NSW Office of Water.
Lake Wallace on the other hand is showing signs of improvement.
"The red alert at Lake Wallace has subsided and if one more week of improved results occurs, the restriction on contact with the water is likely to be lifted," Lithgow City Council Mayor, councillor Maree Statham said.
“However, Lake Lyell is now at amber alert level.
"While this does not preclude recreational use, it should be at the users’ discretion.”
"Weekly sampling continues and an updated alert status will be provided as results come to hand."
