Residents riled health warning puts Pegasus Lake out of action - again
The lake in the centre of a North Canterbury town is off limits for the fifth consecutive summer, and some residents are tiring of the ongoing health warnings.
This year's health warning for Pegasus Lake was issued by the Canterbury District Health Board on January 28, two weeks earlier than last year, after potentially toxic blue-green algae (planktonic cyanobacteria) was found.
A warning has been issued for the man-made lake every summer since 2014-15 and usually remains in place until April.

Went to New World Christmas Eve brought some groceries and as I went to pay a
very kind Lady behind me in the queue reached out and paid for my purchase.
The world still has some wonderful people in it even in these troubled times.
