MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - Public Health Madison and Dane County is reporting blue-green algae at some beaches in Madison.

According to public health, it looks like pea soup, teal or green paint, and scummy mats. You should neve swim in the blooms. And if you are not sure if it is a bloom or not, do not go in the water. Public Health adds, if your pets come in contact with it wash well with soap and water.

Labor Day is the end of beach monitoring, but folks should be aware if you are out and about still on the beaches enjoying the warmer weather.
