ALERT: Toxic blue-green algae has been detected in Lake Brekken and Lake Darling. Water that looks green or blue-green, or has a thick surface scum, may contain cyanobacteria and can cause serious health effects in people and animals.

⚠️ Harmful Algal Bloom Alert ⚠️

Harmful algal blooms have been reported at several North Dakota waterbodies. If the water looks green, scummy, or has thick algae on the surface, stay out and keep children and pets away.

If you see a suspected bloom, report it to NDDEQ at 701-328-5210 or [email protected].

Stay informed and help keep North Dakota's waters safe. 💧

Meet Brandon from our IT team! 💻

While you may not see him often, Brandon plays an important role in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.

Recently, he attended cybersecurity training through TEEX to build on his existing knowledge and stay current on cybersecurity preparedness and response. This training opportunity was made possible through a partnership between FEMA and TEEX.

We're proud of Brandon's commitment to continued learning and bringing that knowledge back to our team.

All First District Health Unit offices will be closed Friday, July 3, in observance of the Fourth of July holiday. Regular business hours will resume Monday, July 6.

Stay safe, have fun, and enjoy the holiday weekend!
