A resident of Danforth Pond reported an apparent patch of cynobacteria today, causing the state to issue an alert. A state official will investigate tomorrow to determine whether to escalate the alert to a warning.
The advisory issued on August 9 was removed by the state on Tuesday, August 13, but visitors and residents are asked to remain on the lookout.
