DuPage County officials are warning pet owners to keep their dogs out of the water in East Branch Forest Preserve after an algae bloom was confirmed in the off-leash dog area.
Warning signs have been posted at the entrances of the preserve after the bloom was discovered during the week of July 20, 2026.
Days after the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting pool was refilled with water following a multi-million dollar renovation and paint job ordered by President Trump, an algae bloom has again turned it green.
