Chlorination of Napier's water will continue through the long weekend after a second positive result for e-coli in the Enfield Road water reservoir was returned.
However it is the lowest e-coli reading detectable and the source has been isolated to one small tank of the two at the reservoir. That tank has now been shut off until further notice.
An investigation into the source of the e-coli is underway.
The Hawke’s Bay DHB has confirmed that no boil water notice is required, as the e-coli reading is extremely low. There has been no increase in cases of reported illness. For more information please read the media release attached.
