A devastated family is grieving the loss of their dog they took to Utah Lake. They are angry that there were no warning signs at the access point where they entered the beach.
SPANISH FORK — A Utah County family is warning others after their dog died following a visit to Utah Lake. The family is doing their own work to keep people away after saying the health department didn't put up proper signage, leaving visitors potentially unaware of the dangerous toxins lurking on the lakeshore.
Even though Wing said the lake itself looked normal, the family didn't get in the water and didn't stay long."He would not stop vomiting. And then he was very, very lethargic," she explained. A notice on the Division of Water Quality site says that harmful algae is present at most locations on the lake and may be producing toxins that can make humans and animals sick.
