Boil Water Notice

Matthew Salmons Reporter from Selwyn & Ashburton Outlook

The Selwyn District Council has issued a boil water notice for residents on the Sheffield-Waddington water supply. Test results have shown E.coli levels are above recommended levels.
Council has begun temporary chlorination of the water supply but residents should continue to boil water until the notice is lifted.


E.coli is an organism which can cause health issues. When a boil water notice is in place, the Ministry of Health advises that people should boil or treat all water from taps before drinking, brushing teeth or using it in food preparation. In addition, water used to make ice should also be boiled before freezing.



Anyone who shows symptoms of sickness should visit their doctor as soon as they are able to.
