Councils monitoring discoloured water at Wanaka
Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) and the Otago Regional Council (ORC) have received a number of reports of flows of discoloured and fast-flowing water into the Clutha/Mata-Au River near the Hikuwai and Northlake developments, in Wanaka. Have you noticed this?
QLDC recognises that this has caused concern amongst the Wanaka community and wants to assure residents that both councils have been working closely together to investigate the cause and monitor the run-off.
While there have been stormwater flows from those sites, recent monitoring results have shown that the water being discharged, whilst discoloured after events such as significant rain fall, is not silt-laden and has been within the expected range for water quality standards. Read more here
