Waimarama boil notice lifted, have you been impacted?
Low levels of e-Coli were detected in Waimarama's water on February 18 which saw chlorine added to the supply and a boil water notice issued. However consistently clear water tests and the completion of an investigation into the cause of the initial e-Coli test results
have allowed the notice to be lifted. Hastings District Council asset manager Craig Thew said the water supply would continue to be chlorinated until further notice.
He said residents should run their taps for a few minutes before drinking to be sure chlorine has reached the tap. The same
applies for things like plumbed-in fridges, tanks of water, ice or stored water that dates from before the
chlorination started. Public taps turned off during the boil water notice will be turned back on.
