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.
