ST. LOUIS (AP) - Higher than normal chlorine levels are believed to have contributed to a fish kill at a St. Louis park lake.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources said Tuesday that remaining tests will determine whether anything else contributed to the fish kill at Clifton Heights Park's lake.
The department says test results showed that chlorine levels in the lake are several times higher than the limits at which most fish can survive.
Fountains in the park are supplied by chlorine-treated water, but it's unclear what caused the spike in chlorine levels.
The department learned of the fish kill Sunday.
