UPDATE: Health Advisory Lifted for Parts of John W. Flannagan Reservoir

A Health advisory for the lower eastern parts of the John W. Flannagan Reservoir in Dickenson County, Virginia has been lifted.

The Virginia Department of Health announced Wednesday morning that the lake has been tested frequently since a health advisory went into affect on August 9th. The department says recent results show algae concentrations were testing in the safe range, which brought reason to lift the advisory. Other area rivers, including the Pound and Cranesnest rivers, are also testing in the safe range.
