Tasmanian Irrigation wishes to advise that Craigbourne Dam in Tasmania's South East is now open to the public.The dam had been closed  to fishing and recreational activities  as a precaution due to the detection of naturally occurring blue-green algae.

Elevated levels of the blue-green algae have now disappeared making it safe for public use. Tasmanian Irrigation is continuing to monitor the dam on a weekly basis. There was no impact on irrigation as a result of the dam closure.

Tasmanian Irrigation thanks the public for its patience during the closure.
