    The Town of Wake Forest gave an update Monday on the presence of red algae in the Joyner Park pond .

    Raleigh water crews found that the contamination was the result of a backed-up sewer line caused by kitchen grease.

    The pond and the nearby trail remain closed as crews work to clean up the water.

    Town officials said it could take a few days before the pond reopens.

    Joyner Park visitors are urged to obey posted signs and avoid the affected areas.
