The Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has announced that Baily Pond in Fuji Park in Carson City is currently under a Harmful Algal Bloom Watch Advisory.

The agency says visual assessments this week have indicated a possible bloom.

The toxic algae can cause serious health issues for humans and animals.

Officials also say if you see water that looks discolored or smells bad, stay away.

Pets should be kept away from all water bodies under a HAB advisory.

Algae blooms happen when water levels are lower, there are higher levels of nutrients like phosphorus, and the water doesn’t circulate well. 

If you see any signs of harmful algae blooms, even if you're not entirely sure if it's actually algae, make sure to stay away from it and report it through this link here.
